[Bug 75332] Re: aptitude has private package holds, should use dpkg

[Rolf Leggewie]

Thanks, Axel.

Before I close this as fixed here in Launchpad, can I ask you to
elaborate more on the "Depends" in your reply?  How would you consider
this still an active ticket?  Is it maybe best to open a new ticket and
reference this one to keep things easier to understand?

I'm just doing BTS maintenance.
