Since Craig is running debian, an even better solution is something like: dpkg-divert /usr/bin/pulseaudio which will prevent that binary from being put back when pulseaudio is upgraded as far as I know. The best solution is to remove the pulseaudio package entirely, but if Craig is using gnome, I believe gnome has a dependency on pulseaudio, though I'd be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
