It would be nice to have a configurable package/version (and possibly /suite)
blacklist, to exclude specific packages from processing.

Use case: due to #753219 and #787271, we now have katoob/0.5.9.1-1.2+squeeze1
and moodle/1.9.9.dfsg2-2.1+squeeze4 which are not extractable. But nonetheless
the updater try to extract them at every single update run, and fails.  It's
not a big deal for such small packages, but if it were to happen for lager
packages it would be a problem.

A blacklist would allow to ignore specific packages during update runs.

Cheers.

This has now been implemented in commit
02e5bdd00348943ee1526b77cc11e3639db1ec05, piggy backing on the already
existing exclude.conf setting files, extending its semantics. See
doc/exclude.txt for more information.

Cheers.
