It can be easily written, using abs to get names of packages built from
each source.

A script could export it to wikitext using
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Template:Package.

Some difficulties with using the same blacklist for multiple distros are
that the ones known to me use different ways of replacing packages, get
some problems fixed in upstream distros and use different package
versions.

Noticed this after posting here.  It should clear state that it's the
last version where this was checked, not e.g. the first one.
