Oh, I guess that also exists.
DESCRIPTION
apt-mark can be used as a unified front-end to set various settings for
a package, such as marking a package as being automatically/manually
installed or changing dpkg selections such as hold, install, deinstall
and purge which are respected e.g. by apt-get dselect-upgrade or
aptitude.
I'm old, so once I learn an (old) thing, I have lower chances of learning
a new thing that does the same thing.
