FWIW, reading the code for trusty, I assume that
(1) burp 2.0.54 is not in a repo, only locally installed
(2) hence the code that checks whether the specified pin can be valid says "no"
and ignores it, because it does not find any source, and thus concludes that
the package only has available sources marked as "never".
Should be easy to fix.

Commandline: apt-get dist-upgrade
Upgrade: apt:amd64 (1.0.1ubuntu2.20, 1.0.1ubuntu2.22), ...
Afterwards, apt-get ignores my pinning preferences:
# apt-get --dry-run upgrade

This might be caused by bug 1814727 as it's the only thing I can see in the
changelog regarding apt/pinning.
