This is a different problem, I think: that one cannot specify packages
to not upgrade on the command line. I think there may be any number of
reasons to keep an older version of a package. So it would be nice if
one could write something like
guix package -u '*' -nu 'python-*'
for instance (where "-nu" stands for "not update").
