Can you pin versions in apt? Last time I checked it involved a lot of work and swearing, but that might have improved lately.

Not really, it was pretty verbose, but wasn't hard. Pinning is for setting package priority between multiple repos.

What you're looking apt is apt-holding:

apt-mark hold libxfont1

That been around since 2013 IIRC. And there was dpkg way of doing it before.
