Package: cortina Version: 0.7.3-1 Severity: important Please make Cortina stop calling home when run for the first time.
It does load http://eric32.er.funpic.de/counter.php?version=$app_ver when started for the first time or upgraded and shows a message if an update is available. This is useless for Debian users that won't go download and install from upstream site anyway. Also, this could breach privacy. Noone should ever know if a user behind an IP uses $software or not and which version. I can understand the upstream wish to count installations. Alternative to disabling the code completely would be to make it optional (and disabled by default). The offending code is in the statisticer method of the Widget class, widget.cpp line 211.
