Hello Christian, unbranding is wrong here because popcon (as shipped by
Debian) only ever report to Debian and if someone install it on an other
distribution, they will get the false idea that it report to their
distribution instead. The same goes for the "first distribution CD.".
This will probably not affect derivative distibutions first CD content,
at least not directly, but it will affect the first Debian CD/DVD.

Also, we should probably update it to say "CD/DVD" nowadays.
