I have Etch installed and have been keeping it up to date with

install icedove. I do not need icedove. I have the upstream firefox
2.0 installed. I also have Debian's 1.5.x package installed, but I am
using the upstream 2.0. I certainly have no need for icedove. I have
tried 'aptitude hold icedove' 'aptitude hold firefox' but neither made
any difference. I then tried 'echo icedove hold | dpkg
--set-selections' and 'echo firefox hold | dpkg --set-selections'
still with no change.
I am quite happy with the firefox that I have and do not want to
change that.
Is it possible to maintain a fully up-to-date Etch without installing
icedove?
My mistake. I was confusing icedove with iceweasel (which does not seem
to be ready for Etch, yet). When I did 'aptitude hold thunderbird'
before the dist-upgrade then it did not try to install icedove.

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
