Marc,
I hope you don't easily assume a bad will behind these numbers. Any
servey
could bring wrong numbers up or even a wrong trend, but that is not always
done on purpose. It is far easier to make an honest mistake, than to
construct some sort of evil plan ;-)

Another thing which might be taken into account is that there are
stable
machines which are not even internetworked or don't have popularity-contest
package installed for any reason (to save some cpu cycles;-), while almost
any unstable/development machine needs the latest stuff and needs to interact
with the debian server infrastructure.
