[Jeff Waugh at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Jeff Waugh <jdub at perkypants.org>:

Just testing out smart again, this time on dapper (looking forward to smart in
edgy!) and noticed that it ignores dpkg selection states.

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
mgp                                             hold

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

The following packages have been kept back:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
