That package has a reverse dependency which is also held back, and I can
see that it has been marked as auto-installed as well, which is not
surprising (anymore).
The commit above might be doing the wrong thing, but it doesn't have
much to do with holds but with marking the packages to "keep", for
example when one selects "Keep packages at current version" in the
interactive resolver.
It doesn't mark them unconditionally as automatic either, it tries to
force the Automatic parameter that was decided elsewhere (presumably,
determined to be the previous state before the current set of
decisions / pending actions was taken).
BTW, I think that I've got a fix for this, but only if you got to this
situation by selecting "Keep packages at current version" in the
resolver (interactive or not).
So I am still not sure about the relationship between that commit and
the events as described in the original message.
But I am going to release a new version which addresses problems caused
indirectly by that commit (was marking all packages as "keep" as auto,
because of a wrong variable set elsewhere). So if this was indeed the
cause of the problem that you experience, this should fix it.
If this doesn't fix it please reopen, and I will look into the issue
with more calm.
Cheers.
