Maybe this is my misinterpertation of the purpose of the application, but I am 
unsure that a whitelist/blacklist would be the right solution.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the tool removes apps that are not in the 
repository (for whatever reason; manually install, obsolete, etc).  Why would 
we white list such apps?  If such a use case exists for the package to stay on 
the system (example - manually installed apps) should the app not exist in the 
repository?

On that note, maybe we can obtain statistics (with permission) of debs that are 
installed manually and do not exist in the repository.  This data can then be 
used to prioritize applications that need packaging or upgrading.  We can base 
priority on the number of instances we see...etc.

Thought?

Thanks,
Justin M. Wray
