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.
Yup, robbie the thiest be harvesting our credz for nefarious schemes.

I am cool with it, robbie is a total bro.
