[Bug 1482957] [NEW] Ability to upgrade specific packages with "apt-get (dist-)upgrade"

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev with apt 1.0.9.10ubuntu6 and if a specific
package gets upgraded with "apt-get install" it is also set to manual
installed. Maybe "apt-get (dist-)upgrade" could also get the ability to
upgrade specific packages but without changing this state.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
