You've already found the matching option. This is the right way of doing it. I'm not sure what other/easier way there should be besides specifying the package name.

There is another way that you might want to go, which is more setup work for now, but should be better in the long run. This is under the assumption that your new package is a development package by you and that there are no packages dependent on that in the others (i.e., yours is on the bottom of the dependency chain).

Just setup a new catkin workspace (in your home) and source your install workspace's setup.sh before. This is the "normal" way, when using a system installed ROS and besides that you compiled from source there is no difference to that.
