Package: popularity-contest
Version: 0.29
Severity: wishlist

I think it would be interesting to be able to weight the popcon stats
based on whether a package is auto-installed or manually selected.
This is only tracked within aptitude (or other apt frontends?  I don't
use them so I don't know) but lots of people use aptitude these days
instead of apt-get or dselect, so I think the data would be meaningful.

I suppose it would be useful to note, also, where a list of packages
comes off a system where aptitude is not installed or where no packages
have the autoinstalled flag set - there, it's unknown which packages
were manually installed.
