I didn't get an answer on IRC, so I thought I'd just ask this at a more permanent place...
2008-09-12 19:37:58 < darkweasel> hi everyone, i want to install kvirc, but the version from the ubuntu archives isn't the current one, so i got a .deb package from kvirc.net...but when i install it, update manager wants to update to the version from the ubuntu archives...but i don't want to use the old version ;) any idea what i can do?

#edit: Of course I know I could just ignore it, but then I wouldn't notice any valid updates either...

Once you have installed it, open Synaptic Package Manager and search for the installed package, then highlight an select "Package" > "Lock version"
