That's certainly its function. I was just responding to Nigel's
comment.

True. Now that I think about it, "install somemodule /bin/true" would
probably do the trick. Gee, that's sneaky!

As far as I know, blacklist just tells a module to ignore any internal
aliases it may have...it doesn't necessarily prevent it from loading.
Adding the module name to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist or
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat file does prevent it from loading.
