[Bug 1921773] Re: apt upgrade clears a hold on an uninstalled snapd

[bughit]

Is 20.04 going to get 1.20.6? It's currently on 1.19.7.

If not, can this be backported to 1.19.x?

Title:
  apt upgrade clears a hold on an uninstalled snapd

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have an "apt-mark hold" on several packages, one of which is not
  installed, snapd. An "apt upgrade" that's not a noop, that actually
  installs something, clears the snapd hold. The others remain.
