[Popcon-developers] Bug#847818: Please support providing information on package-specific debconf questions

[Josh Triplett]

Package: popularity-contest
Severity: wishlist

When reading
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~cjwatson/blog/cve-2015-1336.html , I
realized that we don't have any good way of collecting information about
who uses specific values of a debconf question.  Could popcon support
reading package-specific configuration files that list debconf questions
whose answers popcon could upload along with the popularity contest
data?  (Some debconf questions contain sensitive information, so this
would require a package-specific list of safe questions.)
