Package: debtorrent

Severity: wishlist
When installing the popularity-contest package, debconf is used to show a
privacy warning (along with a question about whether to participate).
The system may anonymously supply the distribution developers with
statistics about the most used packages on this system. This
information influences decisions such as which packages should go on
the first distribution CD.
If you choose to participate, the automatic submission script will
run once every week, sending statistics to the distribution
developers. The collected statistics can be viewed on
http://popcon.debian.org/.
I think DebTorrent should assume that users haven't grokked what "torrent"
implies, and display a similar warning.
When downloading package files, the DebTorrent client will try to use
any other DebTorrent clients it can find to download from. Every client
in the DebTorrent network publishes a list of packages which can be
downloaded from it.
If you choose to participate, the list of which packages you have
downloaded will be available to anyone on the internet.
