Package: urlscan
Version: 0.9.5-1
Followup-For: Bug #1068257

It’s worth noting that there is a non-Debian project that’s related to
tracker pixels in email:

  https://github.com/bengtan/email-untracker

That tool could not replace the proposal urlscan because it merely
looks for a few specific regular expressions known to email-untracker,
according to the docs:

  
https://bengtan.com/blog/email-cleaner-clean-tracking-links-and-pixels/#how-it-works

But it would be interesting if urlscan would source the regular
expressions from the email-untracker project and disclose matches to
users in a more overt way. There could be a “known trackers found”
list in the output of urlscan, and a list of IMG URLs for users to
manually evaluate.
