apt wants to remove packages installed with dpkg -i

[Nano Nano]

When I install a package with dpkg -i (say one I made myself with
dh_make, or one from make-kpkg), the next time I run aptitude,
it is selected for automatic removal.

I highlight it, hit i, and from then on it stays on my system.

I like how apt aggressively removes packages with no dependencies,
but in this case it's not what I desire.  Is there something I can do
during dpkg -i to make the package stick around ?

Put the package on hold with dpkg or dselect. Alternatively, put an
epoch in front of the version number in the changelog when you build
the package.
