Package: calendar-exchange-provider
Version: 3.2.0~beta38-1
Severity: normal

It seems that calendar-exchange-provider checks for new versions
upstream and offers downloading new versions when starting
icedove with the iceowl extension. IMHO, it should not do this
by default.

First, I find it confusing if a package checks for new versions
or allows to upgrade them independent of the Debian packaging
system. We have debian/watch for this.

Second, I don't expect from any software, that it contacts
upstream directly without asking or without my consent. It is a
kind of privacy violation.

Maybe you could just patch out this version check? Thanks!
