The only blacklisted package was lpr. I'm sorry that wasn't explicit.

Lots of them. I didn't keep a list.

Yes, it shouldn't be possible, according to Policy. It is somewhat
fairly well known that it is what happens, though. Frank Lichtenheld
reported his findings last year at [1]. Note that I didn't even try to
resolve the problems, yet, the script I attached does everything I
tried. I'll work on getting a more complete sarge chroot set up,
manually if necessary, later.
