this is already packaged as mozilla-noscript.

this one is intriguing.  why pick it over the other cookie managers?
I'm used to doing right-click anywhere in the page, "View Page Info",
Permissions to set cookie preferences myself, no extensions needed.

last time i looked into this, there was a serious licensing problem, and
it looks like it still exists:

------------------
LEGAL NOTICE: You're granted the license to freely use SSL Blacklist.
You may not redistribute, sell or re-sell it. Anything else you do with
it is at your sole responsibility. The creator or publisher cannot be
held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, that result from the
use of this software. By running the software you agree to be bound by
these terms.
------------------

Also, i'd prefer to see such a blacklist extension in debian that
directly uses the contents of openssl-blacklist{,-extra}, rather than
re-shipping the whole list.

If you could look into resolving the license on this one in view of
making it free and modifying it to use our already-shipped blacklist, it
would be a tremendous win.

Thanks for bringing this up, intrigeri.  There's certainly work to do.
