PATCH 1/1 blackbox: deprecate package due to dead upstream

There has been no Blackbox release since 2005, which indicates that the upstream project is dead. Since there are many other maintained and alive window manager projects around, I'd like to nominate Blackbox for deprecation.

Sniff, I was a very happy Blackbox user 10 years ago.

But yeah, makes sense - Committed, thanks.
