Hi,
this was not done so far because we tried not to disclose information
about packages not in Debian, because they might be private packages
with sensitive names. But as Boris said, the popcon.d.o website does
expose them in the listings, and the popularity-contest package is
opt-in, so I guess we can go ahead and implement this.
