exclude packages from updating: apt vs yum

Hi,

On RedHat/Fedora, I can exclude packages from being updated like this:
"yum --exclude <package> -y upgrade".
Can someone please tell me (or provide a link to it) if this is also
possible with apt-get. Reading the apt-get manpage, I didn't find an
equality.

Thank you.
