Someone, sorry I forget who, on this list posted the a few years ago.
It's what I use.
~# less bin/dhold
---------------
#! /bin/sh
PRG=`basename $0`
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
echo "you're not root, go away."
exit 1
elif [ $# != 1 ] ; then
echo "Usage: $PRG <packagename>"
exit 1
else
echo $1 hold | dpkg --set-selections
fi
-----------------------
So in your case, as root:
~# dhold apt-howto
