With aptitude, you select the package you don't want to upgrade and then
press the '=' key.
You can use dpkg too with a command like:

echo "package_name hold" | dpkg --set-selections

You can set the package to "hold" usind aptitude or dselect or
dpkg --set-selections. You can also use pinning to set packages to a
specific version (see man apt_preferences).

How do I exclude a package when doing a upgrade. Say Postfix for 
example. I want to update all the packages on my system but I don't want 
to update Postfix. How would I do that?
