I was about to report a new bug and found a couple of similar ones here:

As there's a plethora of Firefox's upgrades nowadays (and of Thunderbird's of course) I've locked a version within my Synaptic.
I expected the version being locked would not be upgraded without my explicit action.
However, I got my FF 8 upgraded to FF 9 when I run sudo apt-get upgrade/update.

What's wrong?
Does Synaptic lock packages on its own and the lower-level apps do not know about it?
