This would be a good small feature. Probably there should be a "Hold
Version…" or similar item in the "File" menu, opening a dialog to choose
from available versions.
See also bug 653381, about the ability to install old versions if they
are in the archive. Maybe those two commands could even use the same
menu item.

Title:
[RFE] Unable to hold package version from Ubuntu Software Center
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Debian has several ways to hold a package (for example see this Debian
bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=137771) - via
Synaptic, Aptitude and dselect. They are inconsistent.
Ubuntu Software Center is very good and handy application.
Is it possible to integrate package version holding functionality into it?
