Whichever package's bug it is, it's pretty annoying that the bug is around for 
several years already.
Experimenting with adept_notifier, I found out that it compares the available 
versions as given in any of the files /var/lib/apt/lists/* with the versions 
installed according to /var/lib/dpkg/status. My workaround is for each of the 
held packages to manipulate the "Version: " entry in /var/lib/dpkg/status i.e. 
replacing the version number with something *higher* than the available version.
