How to disable implicit building in packages? {$IMPLICITBUILD}

I'm working on a couple of custom packages (containing GUI components mostly) for a Delphi XE2 application. I need the $IMPLICITBUILD directive to be off. I've edited the package .BPL file manually to set {$IMPLICITBUILD OFF} but the Delphi IDE occasionally reverts the directive to {$IMPLICITBUILD ON}. I'm guessing manually editing the .BPL file is not the correct approach. How should I set $IMPLICITBUILD so that it stays off?

I've googled but can't find anything, nor can I see anything when poking around the Delphi IDE.

You can set the implicit/implicit mode in Project’s Options. Be aware that instead of “Implicit” they use “Rebuild as needed”.

In the Project Options for the package, on the Description page, in Build Control section, select "Explicit rebuild".
