In case anyone else would like to keep synaptic from touching a package at all just set it to "hold" using dselect, synaptic will honour that.
I still find it confusing that dselects "hold" and synaptic's "lock version" feature are two different, apparently independant features. IMHO apt frontends should work with the same central package state, and not each keep some incompatibe state on the side.
