apt sugestion



Hi!

Well the thing is that I think it would be good if an apt-get upgrade
could be told wich packages not to upgrade, the way to do this could even
be a file with a list of the risky packages, or some more complicated way.

This could be used for example to allow roots to make apt-get upgrades
knowing that their servers will remain like they were before and allowing
them to upgrade them using dpkg or apt but having more care.

Also a good use is people that compiles versions of a package for their
special case, and that don't want the package replaced by a new version of
the standard package, something like a mpg123 compiled for a 486 or a
speak freely compiled in full duplex, ...

Well, it is just a sugestion for the apt guys ;-)
