Pardon me for asking this, but what method are you using to hold the
package?
This is from my aptitude's help:
"=": Hold a package in its current version to prevent upgrades.
":": Keep a package at its current version. Unlike hold, this will
not prevent future upgrades.

I think that's /var/lib/dpkg/status
Have you looked at the pinning solution suggested by others? I think
pinning is the approach that's most consistent with the Debian
architecture.
