[Bug 1983730] Re: opt out of phased updates - still shown

[Julian Andres Klode]

So I held back fdroidserver and squid on my system. apt update tells me:

    49 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see
them.

When I run dist-upgrade I get:

    The following packages have been kept back:
      fdroidserver python-apt-dev python3-apt squid
    The following packages will be upgraded:
      [...]
    45 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 4 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

So the behavior here is consistent: phasing updates that are "not for
us" behave like held packages, so I think this is won't fix.

It's at odds with the previous implementation which completely hid them,
but oh well, so is the upgrades being displayed as kept back.
