Yes. Sort of.
Just to give the maintainers a little feedback how usefull their wrk
is to others.
Also those statistics could be used to ceate a new section "tested",
in which only packages are allowed that are tested by a fair amount of
users.
That way one could use unstable packages without the high risk of some
broken uploads or version conflicts. potato breaks a bit too often to
be reliable. One could say that apt-get should only update package
when 10 users have used that version for a week without bugreports (or
something similar).
May the Source be with you.

PS: I saw that there is a tool that reports back what packages are
installed. Les see what further use can be made of it.
