At least real-time audio users of different distros experienced the
nouveau driver as unusable.
FWIW xserver-xorg-video-nouveau on my testing is installed and it isn't
blacklisted. It simply isn't used.
# grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
### Available Driver options are:-
Driver "nvidia"
#Driver "nv"
#Driver "nouveau"
#Driver "vesa"
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# This file lists modules which will not be loaded as the result
of
# alias expansion, with the purpose of preventing the hotplug
subsystem
# to load them. It does not affect autoloading of modules by the

# This file is provided by the udev package.
# evbug is a debug tool and should be loaded explicitly
blacklist evbug
# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually

blacklist usbmouse

"If you're using "nouveau", check "nomodeset" was not passed to the
kernel (edit /etc/default/grub, and if you changed anything run
update-grub)." - http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
Too funny, randomly I replied to an outdated thread earlier this
morning. I edit grub.cfg manually.
# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
