Never the less, it is not such an bad idea. For example I never want to
my kernel/pcmcia modules be updated automaticaly. Yes, I know, I can set
them on hold, and that is, what I do, but when ever I update them then
manualy, I have again to set them on hold using dselect (is there a
methode to do this with dpkg?)...
