[tex-live] How to exclude a package from updating?

tlmgr keeps backups of the packages it updates. For example,

/usr/local/texlive/2011/tlpkg/backups/libertine.r23455.tar.xz

But the latest version *does* have the old type 1 fonts:

% tlmgr show --list libertine | grep pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbb.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbbo.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbk.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbo.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbob.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxboi.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbr.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbri.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbro.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbs.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbsb.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxbsi.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlb.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlbi.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlbo.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxldr.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxldro.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxli.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlr.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlri.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlro.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlz.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlzi.pfb
  texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/libertine/fxlzo.pfb

And it only takes a few minutes to use autoinst or a comparable script
to generate pfbs and support files to match the new otfs.
