Hi,

I had a look in the logs and it is not clear to me that the blacklist is
working.  Looking for gcc-8-cross-ports I get the following:

> $ grep  gcc-8-cross-ports /srv/lintian.debian.org/logs/sync_state.log*
> /srv/lintian.debian.org/logs/sync_state.log.0:gcc-8-cross-ports/6 is out-of-date: New group (triggered by binary:cpp-8-alpha-linux-gnu/8-20180402-1cross2/i386)
> /srv/lintian.debian.org/logs/sync_state.log.0:Group gcc-8-cross-ports/2 dropped: It is not an active group

Looking for "blacklisted" (which should appear in the log if something
is blacked listed), I get nothing:

> $ grep -r blacklisted /srv/lintian.debian.org/logs
> $

I would have expected to at least see:

> Ignoring blacklisted package src:gcc-8-cross-ports

Thanks,
