Reino,

I don't have my n900 with me a.t.m. but I am fairly sure dpkg and/or apt allow for keeping specific pieces of software around.

Code:

echo package hold|dpkg --set-selection

To install a selection, change hold to install, so

Code:

echo package install|dpkg --set-selection

That should do the trick.
