Bug#65805: apt: override upgraded packages

[Cris van Pelt <tribbel@tribe.eu.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Severity: wishlist

The user should have the ability to exclude certain packages from being
upgraded by apt-get upgrade. Maybe by placing the names of those packages 
in a file.

This would save a lot of time, network-traffic, and money when upgrading 
the system, because large packages like emacs or teTeX won't have to be 
downloaded over and over again.
