Putting them in a file located in /etc/hotplub/blacklist.d/ should have
the same effect as adding them in /etc/hotplub/blacklist.

Nevertheless I added them to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. That had no effect
either!

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of
life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be
enthusiastic about.
