If you are leveraging the sources.list.d directory, you could rename
it to end in something other than .list.

Depending on what you want from your system, you could also pin the package:

sudo -i
cat << EOF >> /etc/apt/preferences.d/300-packetfence
Package: packetfence
Pin: release n=*
Pin-Priority: -10
EOF

So that it doesn't get upgraded when you run: apt upgrade or apt-get
upgrade. The pinning would allow you to not modify the repository
source file.

I don't know if there is a (good?) way to alter the pinning on the
apt(-get) command line, though. A quick glance through the man pages
didn't yield anything.
