With a fine-tuned blacklisting still needed, I would like to rewrite the blacklisting code in the wrapper script to:
- match DRI driver instead of DDX. Use xdriinfo instead of grepping X logs etc.
- match combinations of driver and card ID
- separate the blacklist in a configuration file, instead of hard-coding it in the script, in a format like:
 <driver> <pci-id> # comment and LP reference
 <driver> * # block all cards if really needed
- maybe combine blacklist and whitelist handling

Travis, Bryce, what do you think? How is the packaging work coordinated with Debian?
