Dear Debian developers, I plan to add support for 'XB-Popcon-Reports: no' to popularity-contest. This allows to build packages with private names that will not be reported to popcon, by adding 'XB-Popcon-Reports: no' to debian/control. This must not used by packages in the debian archive, however that can be used by packages generators that create packages with randomly generated names (package names that include 128bit uuid for examples) or by organizations that generates packages for internal use whose name include the organization name.
The rationale is that the only info really leaked is the package name, so it only make sense to hide a package if every system that have it installed are also hiding it, so it is better to make it a property of the package than of the system. Any comment ? Cheers, -- Bill. <ballo...@debian.org> Imagine a large red swirl here.
