Not very. So? It shouldn't be hard to detect, and it's not a big deal
for the most part. 

As for the other guy, talking about world domination - that's what you
have to do to get world domination. If it ever gets near that point,
then Debian will have to consider whether that's what the developers
want to be working on. As for a realistic, near term (next 3 years) event
it's rather implausable.
