Well, it seems blacklist is no longer the preferred way to blacklist
bugs since doing since there's now a Debian modification that spams
syslog every time someone attempts to load such a module. So reopening
this bug. Seems the /bin/true trick should be documented after all.

See #488578 for Marco's opinion and a more elaborate explanation of
how blacklist is no longer suitable for blacklisting some modules. Of
course Marco's solution of "don't blacklist them" is just not the sane
solution.
