relatime is fine, since atime are still updated one time by day.

Well the 'inst' field is still correct, so this is still useful.

Followup-For: Bug #87619

Dear Maintainer,

I think there are other circumstances under which popcon provides
unreliable "Vote" values:
/usr is mounted relatime
A program that checks the system integrity, such as debsums

In that case, is it worth to have popularity-contest installed or
should I deinstall it?
