Title:
  Update-notifier/update-manager and Synaptic does not read package
  Pin:s from /etc/apt/preferences

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have following Pin:

  $ cat /etc/apt/preferences 
  Package: sensors-applet
  Pin: release a=now
  Pin-Priority: 1001

  But update-manager still nags me about upgrading sensors-applet!
  Synaptic also wants to upgrade the package.

  The gnome programs should read and use the pins you have sat up for
  the system.

  I use Feisty.
