    I came across this website http://popcon.debian.org/
    It shows statistics how many people have installed a certain package on
    what kind of system etc. etc. If you want to anonymously report what
    packages you are using you have to have the popularity-contest package
    installed.
    I guess many people using Debian have it installed. That's why I was
    amazed that the number of submissions is only around 6000.
    Are there only around 1000 debian users on the world (assumption 60% of
    them sends reports)

    Also 9 architectures have 20 or less submissions. 3 architectures have
    only 1 submission. Seems to me supporting all these architectures for
    all the developers is quite some burden just to help out a few users.

    Is there something wrong with my reasoning???
