Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

When a package is blacklisted the message during a release upgrade is

"""
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
Trying to install blacklisted version 'PACKAGE NAME'

 This can be caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 
'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the 
bug report.
"""

This confuses the user because none of the 3 reason is true.
