Ubuntu's popcon is already present in UDD -- and Utnubu used it:

    http://utnubu.alioth.debian.org/missing/bypopcon/

Those are the missing packages, sorted by (Ubuntu) popcon -- modulo some
"blacklisted" ones (those with *ubuntu* in the name, for example, or "firefox",
"thunderbird", or other similar things).

I still haven't had time to merge Utnubu's infrastructure into DEX/Ubuntu -- I
hope I could do it in a timely manner.


Regarding your suggestion: it's be nice if popcon.debian.org could
also distinguish from where the data is being submitted -- so we can ourselves
make statistics about derivatives (supposing that other derivatives have their
own popcon server).

My 2¢,
David
