The real probability distribution will be a sum of separate
distributions and will depend of fractions of user who installed i of n
packages. Below I pasted formula from LibO Math:
P(x)= sum from {i=1} to {n} a_i P_i(x) newline
0<= a_i <= 1 newline
a_i - "a fraction of users who installed" i "packages from a group of "n"
dependent packages" newline
"to total amount of users who installed any number of packages from the same
group" newline
P_i(x) - "Probability distribution for" i "dependent packages"
The real probability distribution will be hard to predict, so leaving
this "as is" is against the KISS paradigm.
