So do I. A more credible source are apt sources being downloaded. In this
area stable's market share was about 3/4, oldstable something around 1/12
and the rest testing/unstable. (All figures are at least half a year old
and from the top of my memory, which may be failing me. IIRC it was aj who
mentioned them in IRC). Maybe the FTP masters can provide more current
figures.
