Using apt-mark:

You can use apt-mark to hold back the package so that it will not be updated automatically:

$ sudo apt-mark hold chromium-browser
chromium-browser set on hold.

$ apt-mark showhold
chromium-browser

To cancel the hold status:

$ sudo apt-mark unhold chromium-browser
Canceled hold on chromium-browser.

From man apt-mark:

   hold
       hold is used to mark a package as held back, which will 
       prevent the package from being automatically installed, upgraded or
       removed.

Using dpkg :

Actually apt-mark hold is a wrapper around dpkg --set-selections, so you can use dpkg --set-selections directly:

sudo dpkg --set-selections <<<'chromium-browser hold'
