Aptitude also has private holds that apt is unaware of, and receives a lot of bugs about this issue. Based on the large number of reports over the years, has the time come to update aptitude and synaptic to use these global apt holds?

Michael, I am glad to take on this task in synaptic also, if you are open to it. Does synaptic use pinning for this feature because APT was unaware of /var/lib/dpkg/status holds at the time you implemented it?
