The best can is to report a bug on that package - so the maintainer will fix it's dependencies.
If you insist on just not upgrading a certain package, you can pin it. See 'man apt_preferences' as the FM about pinning Debian packages.
The priority of more than 1000 will make sure that package will even cause the downgrade of other packages to get/stay installed.
Good luck

Sometimes 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will decide to remove some
package, I assume because it is no longer a part of the "standard"
dist. ISTR there is a way to "hold" such packages, so that they do not
get removed?
Answers appreciated; pointers to useful FM's appreciated as well.
Cheers, Muli
