More details in the commit message. :) Thanks! I will take it into 2.9.0. Definitely not from code (Cupt didn't borrow a single line of code from APT), but probably from [1]. I don't remember the whole thing, I guess that's the best source I had found in 2008, and apparently it happily sit for 6 years as nobody noticed. And yeah -- in 2008 dpkg had 'hold' in 'package flags' in its own man page. And I even remember times when it was 'man 8 dpkg' not 'man 1 dpkg' so I could extract even something more ancient from there... Huh, it was fun trying to dig it up from the past.
