> Debian privacy policies don't allow it to check mod updates by default. Just make it opt-in, should be fine to do that.

  We have reasons to keep it enabled by default so package maintainer will need to disable it by default anyway. Personally I wish to eventually provide better option to everyone, but that launcher is so unimportant that it's unlikely I'll have time on it in foreseeable future. So I think community of debian provide good option for people that need it. Also it's of course not a case for our project, but I suppose there is developers who simply don't care about things like privacy or security as much as debian community do and I see no reason why they must spend their time on that instead of actual development.

    You could make it a build-time choice and prevent building if the choice isn't made. Then Debian could choose to maintain user privacy and you could choose to violate user privacy.

      This is more or less what going to happen in future as we don't have any problems with merging such options. Though real problem still remain: debian need own packages because we simply have different views on how software must behave by default.
