Maybe :-) Let's see what some other programs say…
apt-get: The following packages have been kept back
aptitude: The following packages have been kept back
I'd say that “kept” is the way to go here. However…

Looking at the code for this window, it *does* try to distinguish
between kept and held (although the text for “n packages being kept
back” is missing). The quoted text is associated with the held count,
so would make it correct given accurate summary information.
It seems that rpackagelister.cc (getSummary) is no longer
distinguishing between held and kept packages, although it remains
instrumented to do so.
rgchangeswindow.cc still has a “To be kept” in addition to held.
Looks like something has fallen away over time here, and this is something
to look at before fixing the apparent string issues. I am not very
familiar with synaptic, but can take a look later next week when I get
some available time.

As long as you mean, “Upgradeable, kept back” However, to save
on translations, the string “To be kept” (from rgchangeswindow.cc) may be
suitable.
