I think this is solved to _some degree_ in Dapper (I don't have the workaround symlink). I have gaim (2beta) pinned via synaptic and apt doesn't suggest to upgrade them...

now the problem is, before I was posting this message, I unpinned the packages via synaptic, closed synaptic, issued apt-get update and:

~$ sudo apt-get -s upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  gaim
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

now apt won't upgrade it :)
