Thanks for working on this but this doesn't actually work as there is no ubuntu-release-upgrader binary package.

 $ apt-cache search ubuntu-release-upgrader
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core - manage release upgrades
ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk - manage release upgrades
ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt - manage release upgrades

So we aren't matching anything with the blacklist entry and end up allowing ubuntu-release-upgrader-core to be removed which isn't the desired outcome.

I believe this requires some reworking of how the removal blacklist is created in ubuntu-release-upgrader to allow blacklisting of specific packages for certain meta-packages.
