I expect you will get this if you use HTTP to submit and any HTTP proxy specified using the HTTP_PROXY variable in /etc/popularity-contest.conf. The only identity submitted would be the random ID generated by popcon to make sure the weekly resubmission of information replaces the last one. Or one could use a SMTP remailer stripping headers, I guess. But that seem to be more work than just using a HTTP proxy. The information submitted is generated and available in /var/log/popularity-contest for those that want to have a look. There is no information recorded about the source, except for the unique ID of the host which is generated using dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1k count=1 2>/dev/null | md5sum when the package is installed.
