selective apt-get upgrade options

["wsykes.lists" <wsykes.lists@deepnines.com>]

Hello ,
I am would like to use apt-get upgrade, but with the ability to choose which 
packages i can upgrade. For example when i type apt-get upgrade i get a huge 
list of packages most of which i dont care to upgrade.

Is there a way to do a selective apt-get upgrade?

Please , 
-Thanks
