"Hold" should work on rpm systems as well, as it uses the
/etc/apt/preferences mechanism and pins the package to that version
with priority 1001. This means that unless you mainpulated your
preferences file the package is never changed. 

If it dosen't work, this is probably a bug :)

thanks,
 Michael
