Description
The new script would:
- use pining instead of dpkg status, it is more powerful, and manage at least holding packages (but other criterias can be added later)
- manage /etc/apt/preferences.d/ files with a certain pattern in the name, easier to check than statuses
- support wildcards in package names, it is more accurate when one software can have multiple extensions in several package (ex. "mediawiki*")
- handle groups, to have multiple packages associated in the same pining file (with commands to add/remove a package pattern from the list)
- add a compulsory reason associated with the pining file

Well, it is not that difficult to do it by hand, thus redirecting energies on more important tasks.
