popularity-contest: Vote for your favourite packages automatically

 Ubuntu no longer collects popularity-contest statistics. This
 package is being kept for compatibility reasons.
 .
 The popularity-contest package sets up a cron job that will
 periodically anonymously submit to the Debian developers
 statistics about the most used Debian packages on this system.
 .
 This information helps Debian make decisions such as which packages
 should go on the first CD. It also lets Debian improve future versions
 of the distribution so that the most popular packages are the ones which
 are installed automatically for new users.
