Title:
  apt-mark overwrites existing held package info

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in apt package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Running apt-mark hold commands overwrites / nullifies any existing
  held package data. Not sure if this is by design, but I assume it's
  meant to be cumulative.

  Ubuntu version: 16.04.2 LTS
  Package version: apt 1.2.19 amd64

  Expected behaviour:

  apt-mark hold 3dchess
  apt-mark hold 0ad
  apt-mark showhold

  3dchess
  0ad

  Actual behaviour:

  apt-mark hold 3dchess
  apt-mark hold 0ad
  apt-mark showhold

  0ad
