Bug#726998: [debian-policy] debian-policy for privacy breach



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.9.4.0
Severity: important

Hi,

I will be important to havbe a policy aboyut locally installed web page 
fetching network ressource. This could lead to privacy breach+

For instance a like button fetch facebook and some local documentation fetch  
ads sense script*.

However they exist some grey area that need more thinking. Donation button 
with paypal for instance. It is unethical to remove donation offer from 
upstream documentation BUT:
- we could not locally copy the paypal logo (violation of copyright).
- we could not allow fetching paypal logo (fail dissident test).

I plan to physically talk about this at debian paris miniconf 2014.

Bastien

+ I am coding a lintian check for this.
* This is a violation of term of service moreover.
