I've updated popcon, and changed the templates and package
description.  I believe it would be good to have the text reviewed
before sending it to the translators.  Please have a look, and suggest
improvements if the text is wrong, unclear or redundant. :)

Description: Vote for your favourite packages automatically
 When you install this package, it sets up a cron job that will
 anonymously submit statistics about your most used packages
 periodically to the distribution developers.
 .
 This information helps us make decisions such as which packages should go
 on the first Debian CD.  Also, we can improve future versions of Debian
 so that the most popular packages are the ones which are installed
 automatically for new users.

Template: popularity-contest/participate
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Participate in the Debian package usage survey?
 You can have your system anonymously supply the distribution
 developers with statistics about your most used packages.  This
 information influences decisions such as which packages should go on
 the first distribution CD.
 .
 If you choose to participate, the automatic submission script will
 run once every week, sending statistics to the distribution developers.
 The collected statistics can be viewed on http://popcon.debian.org/.
 .
 You can always change your mind after making this decision:
 "dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest"
