Package: zoneminder
Version: 1.30.0+dfsg-2

Per /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/ConfigData.pm, ZoneMinder has a
configuration variable ZM_TELEMETRY_DATA that can be set to "yes" (the
default) or "no" to respectively enable or disable automatic
transmission of usage information to the ZoneMinder upstream.

I don't care for opt-out "telemetry" of this sort, so I added
ZM_TELEMETRY_DATA=no to the /etc/zm/zm.conf file prior to starting
ZoneMinder for the first time. Unfortunately, when I started ZM, the log
file showed these entries:

    2017-03-24 23:26:56.638730 zmtelemetry[1722].INF-zmtelemetry.pl [Sending 
data to ZoneMinder Telemetry server.]
    2017-03-24 23:26:56.880710 zmtelemetry[1722].INF-zmtelemetry.pl [Telemetry 
data uploaded successfully.]

Frustrating, to say the least.

I have already added ZM_CSS_DEFAULT=flat to this file successfully, so
the syntax and variable name should be correct.
