I have to say that I like 'hold' better than 'held' based on the way I
would actually read this.

This is package 'foo'.
I want to ensure that it is installed.
I want the version to be '1.1'.
I want to hold it fast.

I want it held fast works as well, but just sits funny with me somehow.

Not much of a contribution to the conversation, but there you go....
