Just as a side note, Percona Xtrabackup is pending to be removed from
Debian this month unless due to the privacy issues of the "call home"
feature:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751377

In Debian the MariaDB feedback plugin needs to be strictly opt-in to
avoid similar fate.

I will look later at adding a opt-in question during the installation
phase in Debian.
