I would prefer to have a "block-all udeb" (as an analogy to block-all
source), as well as having "block-udeb package" - I don't think britney
should consider something as blocked by default for having a udeb (and
also it is just more consistent).

If we use block-hints in a freeze-udeb-file, then these tools will do
the right things "by itself".
