this recently made a bit of a mess on a new install (i add natty repos, pin at 50, then pull firefox from natty) where the file sharing dialogue and some other auto-foo installed natty packages, ignoring /etc/preferences.d/*, aptitude just got a patch to finally heed preferences.d in the natty cycle, it would be sweet to put this one to bed too

make synaptic read /etc/preferences.d/* and write its local changes to /etc/preferences.d/synaptic-pins or something
