Perhaps some other package depends on it? For example,
gnome-desktop-environment directly depends on this package, so if you
include that package, gnome-system-tools will be installed even though
you have pinned it.  Use apt-rdepends -r to discover reverse
dependencies of a package that you want to exclude and then see if any
of the reverse dependencies are in your binary.packages.
