i used to use the feature under debian and i think the problem is the
following:
putting a package on hold prevents it to be upgraded when you do an
  apt-get upgrade
but it will still be upgraded if you do expicitely
  apt-get install packagename

anyway, you really need something in fink instead of dpkg if you want
prevent fink from recompiling the package.

cheers,
