Holding the various tetex packages (tetex-bin, tetex-common,
tetex-extra, tetex-doc) "should" work -- but I wouldn't be surprised
if they get dragged in by dependencies anyway. aptitude holds don't
prevent versioned dependencies from forcing an upgrade, unfortunately.
(and TBH, I hardly ever use holds these days, so they may be even more
buggy than I think)
Personally, I would just bite the bullet and do the upgrade -- tetex
is going away and you'll have to switch over eventually anyway. Is there
a particular difficulty you're running into with the upgrade?
