Please do not change the subject line.  It breaks the thread.

Yes, I know what the blacklist file does in slackpkg and I get what you
want it to do in sbopkg.  My questions were to get you thinking about
potential gotchas and to point you to a potential solution that already
exists in sbopkg.  If you create a local repo with a custom tag for your
customized packages, like flash, then it shouldn't appear in the update
list when you browse the SBo repo.  Have you investigated this as an
option?
