exclude packages from updating: apt vs yum

[Huub <huubvanniekerk@gmail.com>]

Hi,

On RedHat/Fedora, I can exclude packages from being updated like this: 
"yum --exclude <package> -y upgrade".
Can someone please tell me (or provide a link to it) if this is also 
possible with apt-get. Reading the apt-get manpage, I didn't find an 
equality.

Thank you.
