Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. I actually found
what I was looking for, (since I found out I needed to look for it),
in apt_preferences(5). I now have my preferences file setup in such a
way, so that packages in the apt-build repository have higher priority
over the official debian repositories. Thanks again for telling me
what to look for.
