If package foo is installed, then indeed if a package is available (both
physically, and if it hasn't been filtered out by the keywords) it
should
be offered for upgrade.
Note that there isn't really a package "hold" command. It's just if
you refuse an upgrade of a package, that amounts to an implicit hold.
That package will default to "keep" (on the selection screen) until the
user explicitly chooses install (sort of like turning hold off).
As far as Jason's comment, yes that is indeed the way I wanted it to
work.
(Of course you can over-ride that by using the "Choose version" button).
Thanks,
Behan
