Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: popularity-contest

>From Ubuntu Forums user tomplast:

"I just wanted to share with you that I think the package popularity
contest is unfair due to the fact that packages that are integrated in
Ubuntu by default gets counted and therefore are popular even if people
doesn't use them.

I know that the packages selected in Ubuntu are chosen because they are
popular but I think that it's wrong count included packages, at least
giving them such a high score. I think todays counting is in favor of
the allready include packages and the included packages should really
count lower as the packages that are installed afterwards, that's at
least my opinion."
