Your best bet is to ask http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php
author (which is not us) to add a feature that return the graph as a CSV.
Alternatively, if you have an account on gluck.debian.org, you
can access the historical popcon data (which are not public) in
the /org/popcon.debian.org/popcon-mail/all-popcon-results/.
In that case, you must only report data about historical use of
official Debian packages, not custom made packages that exists
only one a few machines (I do not think it will be an issue for you).
