Use buggy software. See CSCdk50075 (the affected version list
is quite long):

Release Notes

In the doc ''Using the Border Gateway Protocol for Interdomain Routing
'',(URL :
http://www.cisco.com/univsrc/ccden/data/doc/cintrnet/ics/icsbgp4):
"Note If you use the network command to advertise a network, the entry for
that network is always injected into BGP updates, even if you specify the
summary-only keyword with the aggregate-address router configuration
command."
A simple test shows that this is not true. (IOS 11.2(9)).
