Do i understand right that it is not about the ISO and its content but
rather about other files which are offered by the same server ?

Back in july i downloaded an amd64 ISO by Debian 10 for testing and got
the warning once, but not on the second download. So reproducing the
effect is not easy.
I'm quite sure that the mirror i used was not in sweden. Do the offending
files get mirrored to german servers ?

If my puzzled theory is right and Google stays as it is, then it might
become necessary to separate Debian ISOs from software from other worlds.

If my theory is wrong, please correct me, so i don't spread false rumors
among the ISO users.


Have a nice day :)
