If I try to hold one of those drivers, then another, it unholds the first, leaving total hold count at one package. If I try to set all the holds in one command, it succeeds (as proven by showhold), then proceeds to try to install the held packages anyway when I try to purge radeon. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
