Popularity is in no way synonym of best quality (just think about

The name of this package is really really misleading.

For that, it uses the popularity scores found in different sources (freshmeat, sourceforge and google). It then displays the packages matching the search criteria with their associated scores. The user can then install the selected package with the debian package installer : apt-get
