More important than 'how many people installed > package X' is perhaps "how many people installed package X that wasn't on the > media" and even more importantly "how many people launched package X and what > was X's deps?". Debian's popcon[0] utility does almost exactly that. This would make a nice counterpart to smolt - where smolt tracks what hardware people are using, popcon tracks what *software* they're using. It's all proven, open-source stuff - adding this as a feature for F8 wouldn't be hard. On the other hand, I don't want to duplicate code. Since we're already talking about more Mugshot-y stuff in F8[1], maybe it makes sense to extend the Mugshot application info-gathering backend to work more like popcon. Perhaps it would need to be split out from Mugshot so people who don't care about Mugshot can still opt to collect and submit stats.
