At one point I also wanted to "lock" certain packages so I looked up the way to do it for apt, and stumbled upon this answer in AskUbuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/18656/847385. The answer listed ways to do it with dpkg, apt, aptitude, etc. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd think Discover would also use dpkg in the background anyway, so it might just work.
