[Cin] LV2_blacklist.txt & Debian packaging improvements contributions

[Phyllis Smith]

Olivier, it is going to take me some time to absorb all of this and have GG
answer the Developer questions.  Meanwhile, I will look at the parts that I
can like the blacklist that I can do.  I think the Mailing List is best for
this kind of communication rather than MantisBT.

BTW, yesterday we downloaded the "testing" version of Debian 10 and will
try to do a build for that at the end of the month, due to a request in the
comment on April News on the website.  This is not what we would normally
do but if someone takes the time to write about it, we should at least look
at it.  More later, Phyllis/GG
