Hi Jonas, thanks for your -- interesting and funny - email ;-) I am not so much for political discussions, but just for clarification:
> It is bad that a system installed purely from Debian - with all security > updates carefully applied and all security announcements carefully > followed - can be insecure due to tools bypassing Debian and doing its > own update mechanisms. That would **not** happen automatically. No updates are pulled automatically. The user **must** install plugins by himself to "infect" his computer, and **must** update to increase the infection. The only thing that happens is an information to the user that updates are available. So I hope you have one less worry, right? In case you never ever install any infectious disease^Wplugin, you are free from governmental spying and all the evil Satan send us! Enjoy, and thanks for you comments!
