It doesn't have any privacy issues, but:

It is utterly pointless to include a 1x1 tracking gif in a source
package. The whole point of 1x1 GIFs is privacy violation and since you
can't violate privacy locally they are pointless, just delete that.

Not sure if it makes sense to have <input type="image"> without the
image in it. Please replace that with type="submit" and drop the border.

This has PHP code for computing the URL but it should be easy to replace
that part with a link to the page @ http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/

I didn't mention detection at all. My objection was that your message
implied you wouldn't fix these issues I detected and informed you about
until lintian was fixed to detect the issues I detected manually. Sorry
if I wasn't clear enough about that. BTW I'm surprised you also didn't
detect this issue when writing the patches you wrote initially.

Personally I would use this instead:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10988815/facebook-twitter-and-google-1-buttons-using-only-html-no-javascript

I see that index.html has a privacy violation in the form of a Google
SiteSearch JavaScript. Lintian doesn't detect it, filing a bug about it.
