What about that?

Very simple way is one-two line to `reportbug` to check content of report
against regex and print kind sorry-cancel message back
(example is for shell ``source'' can be as follows):

entry "/Tained: P/" "$PKGVER:
The kernel was tained by a Proprietary module. Debian doesn't support
this, contact module vendor, please."

Such files can be in /usr/share/$PKG/doc/KNOWN-BUGS.
