[Bug 1770792] Re: Clean up sync blacklist

[Steve Langasek]

You've dropped ccsm from the blacklist, but the sole binary package
built from ccsm in Debian comes from compiz source in Ubuntu; I think
this needs to be retained.

You've traded icedove for thunderbird, but why should thunderbird be
blacklisted?  It's currently maintained in Ubuntu and not merged from
Debian but I don't see any reason in principle that it couldn't be.

Why are you dropping the blacklist of fbxkb, which was identified in the
blacklist file as "obsolete GNOME panel applet"?

I am satisfied that the rest of the changes here are correct, however I
would want the rationales to be better documented in the commit history.
I would ask you to please:

 - rebase on the current sync-blacklist branch (there is a conflict)
 - divide the commits up according to rationale (e.g., dropped because package removed from unstable; vs dropped because package is now in Ubuntu again; vs. reshuffling of file contents)
 - resubmit

Or, you can punt this to me to do and I'll apply these changes when I
have a chance.

Title:
  Clean up sync blacklist

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am attaching a bzr branch here. Because the sync blacklist is a
  "junk" bzr repository, Launchpad isn't letting me make a merge
  proposal for it.

  
  I think it makes the blacklist easier to read and use if we get rid of all the old entries.

  I went through and verified that these removals were removed from
  Debian.

  There are a few exceptions (gdm3 and openssl1.0) which didn't need to
  be blacklisted anymore.

  I mostly ignored the Mozilla extensions. The Mozilla situation is
  interesting this year, but I'll save that discussion for later.
