+1 if it includes a conversion script to the current blacklist.txt so
dbscripts and other don't need to be immediately rewritten.

it could also be brought to the gnu-linux-libre list so we have a common
blacklist. an OtherNames field can be put up if the package name
changes.

also a Version field, since some versions listed on the FSDG list were
already upgraded on parabola
