Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lshw
The lshw 02.12.01 program that was recenty added to Ubuntu Hardy phones
home to when you ask for its version number.
Running `lshw -version` results in a query to the ezix.org domain.
The first problem with this behavior is that silent network activity on
--version is unexpected and breaks behavior conventions.
The second problem is that the packaging system should be responsible
for reporting software updates. Other software like Firefox and XMMS
usually have automatic upstream version checking disabled, especially if
the package is in the main repository.
** Affects: lshw (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
