Hello we are a privacy-centric distro based on Debian and wanted to know
what Debian packages leak information about the system to the network
without a user's consent/expectation.

As documented on the page below, a system's security also depends on
avoiding leaking any identifiable information to network adversaries by
accident. Popcon, bts, wnpp-check are the noted examples so far (which
we blacklist in our distro). Please help notify us of any other such
packages.
