Title:
  Confusing message when a package is blacklisted

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
