Re: [Prepare mass bug filling][RFC] New lintian tags: privacy-breach
* Bastien ROUCARIES <roucaries.bastien@gmail.com>, 2013-12-23, 16:23:
I have just implemented lintian-privacy-breach tags [1,2]
I don't think “privacy breach” is an appropriate expression to use here.
Can we find a less judgmental and more technical term?
These tags check for webpage fetching external documents and thus
allowing to track our user.
Thanks for your work on that.
They are some pattern in the privacy breaking website:
- Valid html icons (w3.org). This one is problematic because we could
not carry the icons in our tree (icons are not modifiable thus not
free). Do we have an alternative ?
In my book, they don't provide any value, so I'd strip them.
I have some xslt script and I plan maybe to create a dh helper to run
against common offenders.
I don't think it's something that should be automated.

The tag descriptions could use a review by debian-l10n-english@ldo…
