src package conundrum

[Rick Moen]

I don't know, offhand, and was hoping someone would save me the
research.

When a user dpkg -d source vrms for example and then uses the Debian
tools to compile the download and create a .deb from the result, and
then actually installs the resultant .deb... I see that if user then
does and apt-get upgrade that it will result in reinstalling the vrms
package from the binary repository. I have tried copying the .deb of the
source generated process to the cache with the same results...

How does a user insure that an upgrade will not replace a source
installed package with the same name, version, etc...?

Thanks
Richard
