[Bug 914620] [NEW] update-manager ignores blocked packages

[syscon-hh]

Public bug reported:

I have blocked some packages using "synaptic", to avoid an update or
usage. Due to test the functions, only.

These packages are "brltty", "ubuntu-desktop" and some others. I
deinstalled them and blocked them.

But after starting the update-manager from panel-menu, I get an
information, that there are beside normal updates, packages to install
respectively to upgrade - the window for "system-upgrade" appears to
handle the difference.

The installation is a new one(alpha 1 netinstall) - not an upgrade.
