I'll note that I can verify this on intrepid. Instructions:

* set up an intrepid system
* wait until there is a security update or other update
* create /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: base-files
Pin: release a=intrepid-updates
Pin-Priority. 10

* run update-manager, click on "Check"
* package is still offered to be updated

If I put the package in "hold" before running update-manager, it
correctly lists the package in the possible updates, but "unticked",
i.e., it won't be upgraded unless the user explicitly chooses it to be
upgraded.

I don't seem to be able to find a way to get Synaptic tell me the
package is pinned. Perhaps I've done some bad mistake in reproducing
this?
