Nothing in detail, but you can make a few asumptions:

 1. Architecture field exists.
 2. Installbase of xserver-xorg-video-*. unluckily the atime does not 
    seem to be change and xserver-xorg-video-all pulls in all packages. 
    You can of course subtract the installbase of -all from the other 
    packages. the nvidia binary drivers are easily spotted though: 
    nvidia-kernel-common.
 3. for hardware there sometimes exists kernel modules or specialized 
    software (e.g. 3ware controllers)

Take a look at http://popcon.debian.org/all-popcon-results.txt.gz
yourself. Debian does not raise any directly hardware related data.

Bye,
   Alain
