Hello Sheridan, Your issue is mentionned in the popcon FAQ <http://popcon.debian.org/FAQ>. We could provide a popcon public key and encrypt the report with it, decrypting submission on the server. We would have to put the private key on the server. At this stage I am afraid that decrypting all the submissions would but too high a load on the server.
