while considering to update to CSSU, i wanted check out backupmenu first.
downloaded
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....1.1-1_all.deb
and inspected the package to see, what's about to be installed.
first thing, that strikes me odd, is
/usr/share/backupmenu/.functions.sh.swp
second, more serious, thing, is that the postinst script sends the device's IMEI as part of a request to
http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/install.php?uid=<IMEI>
is there a reason why this kind of private data is sent? why is the IMEI required at all? as far as i can tell, it makes no difference if the IMEI is sent or not.
