Bug#599270: Now wrongly updated more version-locked packages

Hi.

Now I found that update-manager has included my libsane and sane-utils
packages with a previous upgrade breaking my scanner support (due to bug
#597922 I had to install from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/sane-backends/1.0.20-14/#libsane_1.0.20-14:2b:b1
). - Update manager updated all, but (of course?) left the lock. I
didn't even realise this until I tried to scan something.

I now consider this bug a grave one as it can actually break
functionality. Consider the worst case where for some reason a core part
of the system has to be locked (due to hardware compatibility issues)
but is updated to a new version by update-manager.

I hope this gets fixed.

Regards

Andreas
