[feature] The ability to ignore specific version updates for a given package #252

Manually clicking on every software update to deselect it for updates gets tedious really fast if there are more than just a few:

Reasoning: I want to skip the Samba updates, as those can break Samba compatibility and as far as I know the update in question mainly fixes stuff that breaks due to a Windows 10 update. At least that's what aptitude told me. This computer hasn't been and won't ever be connected to a Windows 10 machine via Samba, so the risk for a literal zero gain doesn't seem to be a great idea. I will want to update to the next version after that, though.

Maybe there should be another button in the list for advanced options per item in the list? It's actually already there, but the only option there is "ignore updates" - I need another option called "Ignore this update". :P

I've already deselected the Samba updates a few times and it is starting to grate on my nerves.

You could just ignore samba updates. Also, bauh will just upgrade what's currently being rendered (WYSWYG), so you could just apply some filters to update specific packages.

I DO want to ignore them. But only that specific update. Any new after that I don't want to. The apk manager in Mint does allow me to skip a version. :)

Alright, so I'm going to change the title to "Able to ignore specific version updates"
