In the RPM section of apt.conf, put something like this:

    Hold { "^package1$"; "^package2$"; };

Install the xmms-mp3 package from freshrpms.net (or /pub/freshrpms on
our ftp server) or from ftp.livna.org.

I can't imagine why it would care about mozilla if you installed from
the rpms on ftp.mozilla.org.  Or is it a dependency thing?
