indefinitely hold a package

[Preston Boyington <preston.lists@gmail.com>]

Since I have been having an issue with the current xorg blowing the 
display on this HP dv5000 laptop, I wanted to keep the currently 
installed (stable) version.

Is there a way that I can let aptitude update everything else without 
having to worry about it automatically selecting xorg packages to be 
upgraded as well?  I am using the "hold" feature currently, but it seems 
that I am having to go through several steps when I open or update 
aptitude because I have to reapply the hold feature each time.

(There is an example of the issue I am having on my website)

Thanks all,
Preston
