You could at least add in the default my.cnf a section for the feedback
plugin or create a specific config file on the /etc/mysql/conf.d/ directory.
Having a dialog is not a real issue for automated install as running the
package installation in non interactive mode would keep the default
value (off) and as the dialog wouldnt be showed on upgrade, only on
first installation and it still can be pre-configured using
debconf-set-selections.

I've been thinking about this too, but I haven't formed an opinion yet
on what is the best way to introduce this. I assume there are many
debianists who don't like data collection, and server admins who
simply don't want new dialogs to mess up their automated installation
systems. If I introduce this as a low priority question, most who
install will not be prompted. I need to think more around this..
Can we just do it for the mariadb.org packages, just like we ask for a root
password ?
(I too am not sure if upstream debian/ubuntu will want to do that...)
Anyhow, we really need to figure out better "tracking" so we know what features
people are using so we can spend time on making them better:
http://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin/
http://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin/stats/features/ (really useful stuff
even when we are thinking of deprecating features)

Hi!
This is probably a great idea:

Let's ask dpkg to optionally enable feedback plugin? This could be good for us
Just to be clear: I'm referring to this for the packages at mariadb.org
I don't know if Debian upstream would like that -- Otto, any thoughts?
cheers,
