This is Debian we're talking about. If you package something for inclusion in Debian, you're supposed to update it with APT, not some home-baked updater that phones its own mama and displays its own notification.

If you want to push updates faster than Debian stable does, the proper way to do it is to provide a third-party APT repository. Then I can decide to disclose my IP to a mirror of my choice, using a proxy of my choice, that can be configured globally in /etc/apt.
