According to the oss-compat package, it is better to use osspd. Osspd
provides oss-compat as a virtual package, and therefore if osspd is
installed and providing oss-compat, then oss-compat should not be
installed at the same time.

Blacklisting oss-compat is probably the right thing, but then osspd will
not be installed unless it is manually installed or something else
requires it specifically.

Is it possible to add osspd specifically to the install?
