- <varlistentry><term><option>hold</option></term>
- <listitem><para><literal>hold</literal> is used to mark a
- package as held back, which will prevent the package from being
- automatically installed, upgraded or removed.
- The command is only a wrapper around <command>dpkg --set-selections</command>
- and the state is therefore maintained by &dpkg; and not affected
- by the <option>--file</option> option.
