Here's what http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_vote says:

#Format

(Sorry for the screwy formatting.)

I don't understand how the rank is calculated, but it's in the top
decile (-: -- the full list has 75594 entries.  (Ah, it's simply by
vote, apparently.  A lot of packages have one or zero votes.)

Judging from the comments in Ubuntuforums, a lot of people installed
this only to find out it doesn't work for their BIOS (or many are still
puzzling about what it's supposed to do for them). I guess the vote
might be inflated somewhat if it has an init script which gets run at
every boot, even if it only finds that it can't do anything, and quits.
(I don't know if it does, but IIRC it contains a small daemon of some
sort.)
