Title:
  holding a package in aptitude does not set dpkg's selection

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “aptitude” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  If I hold a package in aptitude, everything else (update manager, apt-
  get, etc) still wants to upgrade it. Finally figured out that I wanted
  'dpkg --set-selections'. Marking a package to be held in aptitude
  should be reflected in the other package management tools, just as
  marking a package as automatically installed is now.
