Hello Filipus,
How do you suggest to write the description then ?
The popularity-contest package sets up a cron job that will
periodically anonymously submit to the Debian developers
statistics about the most used Debian packages on this system.
.
This information helps us making decisions such as which packages
should go on the first CD. It also lets us improve future versions
of Debian so that the most popular packages are the ones which are
installed automatically for new users.
Cheers,
