Description
Version: 2.10.0-beta1-1-gfb7fe96b5.
It is unacceptable to deliver tarantool, which send some telemetry to the tarantool team without explicit user agreement.
The feedback daemon should be disabled by default (at non-interactive installation).
The debian package should ask a user, whether (s)he want to send the telemetry to the tarantool team, during installation. We should explicitly describe what kind of information will be sent.
The user's decision will be hold in a file like /etc/tarantool/??? that will be read by all tarantool processes, not only ones that are run by tarantoolctl.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Debian package installation flow and the feedback daemon configuration. Define how debconf records the user's telemetry decision and how that decision is exposed through a file under /etc/tarantool/ for all Tarantool processes; done means non-interactive installs disable feedback by default and interactive installs clearly explain and apply the user's choice.
