By no means I intend to violate users privacy.

What I am thinking about is having some sort of package recommender system
that would base its recommendation on the real use of packages. Thus I would
use popcon data base to deduce what packages usually come along with other
packages, things like that.

I'm interested in how packages relate to each other in adition to package
dependencies, recommends and conflicts, which we already know since they are
defined by the mantainer.

My focus would be the "use driven" package relationship.
