 Hi,
 
 On RedHat/Fedora, I can exclude packages from being updated like this:
 yum --exclude package -y upgrade.
 Can someone please tell me (or provide a link to it) if this is also
 possible with apt-get. Reading the apt-get manpage, I didn't find an
 equality.
 
 Thank you.
 

I dont want to start a war, I use aptitude, so look man aptitude, and maybe, 
man dpkg.

Yes it is possible for dpkg, apt and aptitude.  The description is in
the Debian FAQ:
