I want to second Daniel Hartwig: synaptic should really use the universal dpkg holds. Anything else is quite confusing. Back when the locks got implemented in synaptic apt was not honoring dpkg hold iirc and there was also the worry about portability (i.e. using it on rpm systems). But I agree that nowdays it should use dpkg holds. I expect that 'apt-get (dist)upgrade' respects the holds I have set with synaptic. If anyone does not, there should at least be an option were one can choose which behavior is wanted. I pushed a branch to lp:~mvo/synaptic/use-dpkg-hold that implements the hold via dpkg holds. Its not doing a transition from the old to the new style yet, that probably needs fixing but otherwise I think its ready.

Automatic transitioning from old to new style would be awesome, but if that's too difficult, a entry in NEWS could be added explaining this.
