Yes, that did amuse me.   It creates two files named:

    scanresults-census.txt
    scanresults-local.txt

The first one is what gets uploaded and contains some stats and a list 
of packages found along with versions.  The second is for your 
reference.  It contains package names, version plus the paths to the 
files found.
