not sure about that, man apt-mark says
" hold is used to mark a package as held back, which will prevent the
package from being automatically installed, upgraded or removed."
But it might make sense that this will keep only packages that are
recommended from being installed, not those that are dependencies.
Maybe "depends" just takes precedence over "hold" when the user gives
apt instructions that basically are contradictory.
