invoking /etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest fails with:
"sh: - : invalid option". looking into the script, line 34 tries to "su"
to nobody and executes /usr/sbin/popularity-contest. the following patch
should speak for itself:

[Petter Reinholdtsen]
* Add variable mirrorbase to popanal.py, to make it easier to set up
a new server.
* Remove listing email as the transport method in the package
description, and make the description independent of the method
used. This reflect the new HTTP transport support. (Closes: #321056)
* Update the FAQ to better reflect the support for HTTP submissions.
* popcon-upload-ubuntu: Replace ubuntulinux.org with ubuntu.com. Patch
from Colin Watson and Ubuntu.
* Correct use of 'su' in cron-script. (Closes: #331438)
* Make it possible to get popcon to only report using HTTP. Patch
from Vagrant Cascadian. (Closes: #325030)
* Added debian/compat to set debhelper compatibility level to 4, and
remove debian/conffiles as it is no longer needed.
* Let popcon-submit.cgi pipe incoming reports through prepop.pl
instead of saving it directly to disk, to make sure the same
sanity checks are done for both HTTP and SMTP reports. Thanks to
Bill Allombert for pointing out the risks of the old approach.

* Fix server-side scripts to use the Packages.gz files instead of the
Packages file.
