Version: 2.50.0-2
Severity: normal

The documentation in this package indicates that telemetry collection is
on by default, and I don't see any patches that indicate that that has
been removed.

Debian should not ship software that sends telemetry by default because
it violates the privacy of users, and it is typically only in the
interest of the maintainer, not the users.  It's not reasonable to
expect users to configure every package they might install separately
not to send telemetry, since that's impractical and it's nearly
impossible to configure every piece of software to do so, especially in
environments like containers where users' settings are often not
persisted.

Please remove the telemetry functionality from the package or ensure
that it is rendered completely nonfunctional, and add a note to the
README.Debian indicating this change so that users can feel more
confident in using the package.
