"Pinned" means that the default version which the package manager would
normally choose is overwritten. This term could also be replaced in the
English version - I don't like it either, since it is very cryptic to
new and normal users.
Another issue with "bad" language would be "hold". Michael and me have
decided to replace it with "locked".
