Earlier someone mentioned that popcon can report to more than one
tracker. So maybe we should talk to Debian based distributions and
encourage them to report to both their own (if they have one) and
popcon.d.o.

Would be nice for debian to include numbers for Debian based
distributions and have graphs showing the rise and fall of each.
