Please blacklist and remove php-horde and php-horde-* from groovy (and future releases)

[Bryce Harrington]

Please blacklist php-horde, and re-remove any of its packages that have returned.

Per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-horde/+bug/1868281, the php-horde stack was removed from focal. It was intended to also blacklist it, for reasons listed on that bug report, but that wasn't done and so php-horde has started to return in groovy.

<mwhudson> bryce: are php-horde packages reappearing in groovy something we want or an accident?
<bryce> mwhudson, the intention was for them to go away for good; what's causing them to reappear?
<mwhudson> bryce: they are being synced from debian i assume
<mwhudson> e.g. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-horde-argv/2.1.0-5
<mwhudson> i guess if they are being maintained in debian again we might be happy to have them back

<ubottu> Launchpad bug 1868281 in php-horde (Ubuntu) "Please remove php-horde and php-horde-* from focal" [Undecided,Fix released]
<bryce> mwhudson, hmm, last I checked the stack had been abandoned in Debian. Even if it's been re-adopted, it comprises over a hundred packages that pop up stuck in proposed migration frequently.
<mwhudson> bryce: seems a bunch of them got uploaded again about a week ago
<mwhudson> bryce: so we should work them back into release or delete them again and blacklist them so they stop syncing
<bryce> mwhudson, delete and blacklist. Intent was to blacklist them, although looking at the bug I guess maybe this wasn't done last cycle
<mwhudson> bryce: want to file a bug for that and subscribe ~ubuntu-archive then?
<bryce> mwhudson, can do
<mwhudson> bryce: thanks

php-horde* has been removed and blacklisted, but I notice there are four packages still showing up on update-excuses. The attached branch will add those four to the blacklist.
