...but the core of my 'problem' is software that calls home.
I agree a separate tool is possibly the best option here for privacy reasons...
Simple solution seems to me, have a version.h file in each "module" and rather then calling home publish the version info that is downloaded rather then uploaded with some sort of changelog type system, and the app running locally will detail on request the changes between the different versions...
obviously gzip'ing the "changelog" will save download times...
I think it's a good idea if implemented correctly, everything off by default, and give good details on what it does specifically and how to enable it and that should keep everyone happy... Those that are especially paranoid, just don't compile the version checking tool, so if anyone complains later not only did they have to run the util, but they had to compile it as well...
