[OT] Gauging package popularity

[Steve Kemp <skx@tardis.ed.ac.uk>]

  I'll keep this brief because I'm not sure this is the best place
 to ask this.

  Is there a way to discover the popularity of Debian packages,
 (such things as number of installations, and the architechture of
 the install base)?

  I've seen the 'popularity-contest' package which produces the
 interesting statistics at:

	http://people.debian.org/~apenwarr//popcon/

  Is there anything else that's generally available to Debian developers,
 such as download stats from the various mirrors?
