*exactly* "this module only lives in blead and is not dual-lifed".
I am currently looking at the code in Module::CoreList to see if it is
possible to conclusively determine a module's dual-life status from the
information currently available -- I don't think the current UPSTREAM
status is useful here.
I have been considering patching to add an explicit is_dual_life function,
but I'm not sure if additional data needs to be added to
Porting/Maintainers.pl to be able to determine this.
