Pretty sure the useful bits of that page can be distilled to:

echo "package_name hold" | dpkg --set-selections

For what it's worth, I usually edit <package root>/debian/changelog
and add a "+<location>.<rev>" release. Usually that's because I'm
trying to backport a patch that Debian hasn't accepted yet and I'm
confident I'll want the new version from upstream. The dpkg hold is
probably a better idea for your use case -- a configuration Debian has
chosen not to support. In that case, I've also been known to change
the package name to <package>-<location> and maintain a local apt
repo.
