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.
