Magento install scripts are just normal PHP code. You could easily add a call to
curlorfile_get_contents(...)to your own servers.Magento even wraps curl in its own interface, so this is quite feasible.
I would argue that making a request to your own servers for no real technical reason is rather impolite, so I’d suggest also adding an option in your config, much in the same way that other applications give an option to send anonymous usage statistics when they are installed.
