That feature is APT pinning. You can achieve "never install" by
creating a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d,
e.g. /etc/apt/preferences.d/local-blacklist, containing something like

No problem, you need to install the myspell-en-gb package.
Then you need to restart LibreOffice before you can use it in the

Yes lenny, it's disappeared from the man page already, and in fact
it's not in etch's man page either.
