Title:
  Popcon Ubuntu backend to be decomissioned

Status in popularity-contest package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Canonical IS is about to decom the popcon backend as it is no longer
  used. In order to avoid cron-jobs that are failing, the software
  should be tweaked to not send any data to popcon.ubuntu.com.

  As of 20-Sep-2022, there are about 5000 daily requests to the backend
  from 4000 unique IPs.

  Options could be not to trigger the popcon-upload script, or to upload
  to the debian server (not sure if that is viable).
