Correct. If it's a dependency, it -will- be installed. Helps trim some of the
recommended packages from the final filesystem, without introducing potentially
irreconcilable dependency failures.

I tried that and it did not work. The hold semantic in dpkg/apt-get appears to
say once it's installed keep it at a specific version. But it doesn't allow you
to hold in the not-installed mode.
(I'd be more then happy for someone to prove me wrong btw..) I tried everything
from setting special Pin-Priorities to playing with the state file, etc..
eventually I gave up and made it a warning instead. (This is not a regression
BTW, it has never worked in the past... it's just functionality someone may want.)
