Yes.  It is probably wise to check the content of the script, if you
are alerted by the request:

%  wget -qO - http://developer.skolelinux.no/popcon/participate.sh
#!/bin/sh

VERSION=1.31

set -e
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.skolelinux.no/debian/pool/main/p/popularity-contest/popularity-contest_${VERSION}_all.deb
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg -i popularity-contest_${VERSION}_all.deb
#DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install popularity-contest

cat >>/etc/popularity-contest.conf <<EOF
PARTICIPATE="yes"
USEHTTP="yes"
SUBMITURLS="http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi http://developer.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/popcon-submit.cgi";
EOF

/etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest
%

And if all debian machines schools and educational environment will
run this script, we will get a good view of the debian packages in
used by such machines. :)
