Title:
  do-release-upgrade decides openssh-blacklist is obsolete

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've been doing upgrades from hardy to lucid on some servers and
  noticed that the end of do-release-upgrade is uninstalling openssh-
  blacklist during the check for obsolete packages at the end. openssh-
  blacklist was in the list of things upgraded during the earlier stages
  of do-release-upgrade, so there's no reason it should have been marked
  obsolete.

  Neither "aptitude safe-upgrade" or "aptitude full-upgrade" will put it
  back, but if I just start aptitude and hit "g" it's already in the
  list to be installed because openssh-client depends on it.

  I marked this a security vulnerability because not having this package
  installed for any length of time does make the system more vulnerable,
  and the potential for it to never get reinstalled automatically makes
  it much more dangerous.
