I assume you mean for diverting the ppp device to another file?
I think holding the package is much better in this case.  Bypassing
the permission problem to let the upgrade succeed caused /etc/init/udev.conf
to get reinstalled, which stopped him from booting.

But d pkg-divert is another trick (new to me) that sounds like
it'll come in useful.  I'm getting the feeling that container
administration (in debian/ubuntu) is going to require a bit of
a new art :)

Thanks!
