Here's an absolutely nutty thought. If packages are held back for any reason whatsoever...then don't show them and don't count them as upgradeable because...well they're not. I see no value whatsoever in saying we're holding this back due to x,y,z reason. Just wait and push the updates when they can, in fact, be upgraded at the end user. I get frustrated every time apt update tells me I have N upgradeable packages but then apt upgrade results in nada, zilch, nothing to upgrade because all of the packages are held back. Why tell me anything at all if there is nothing to do? I do not want to know how many packages are not quite ready - seems silly. Just one person's opinion but what do I know?
