[aarch64-linux-gnu-linux-api-headers] compiles using blobbed linux kernel sources

erm ... which source code? - which blobs? - how would anyone ever know if that is still true? - maybe those sources and/or blobs are not there anymore

i added this ticket as the blacklist bug reference, as it is the only known reference to this alleged freedom bug and other packages are repeating this claim and referencing this ticket as the justification for blacklisting; but as documentation this bug report is useless - it pretty much guarantees that these packages can never be removed from the blacklist
