This is Debian we're talking about. If you package something for inclusion in Debian, you're supposed to update it with APT, not some home-baked updater that phones its own mama and displays its own notification.

Then I can decide to disclose my IP to a mirror of my choice, using a proxy of my choice, that can be configured globally in /etc/apt.
