Package: popularity-contest Severity: wishlist It would be nice if I could configure popularity-contest to ignore certain packages when collecting data.
I would like to use meta-packages to manage the list of installed
packages on my machines, but I don't want to leak the names of those
packages since their names will probably be based on my hostnames, which
are already public, meaning that people could easily find out which
packages I have installed.
The first one should be enough for me but multiple ways of excluding
packages might be useful for other folks:
* individual packages: foo bar
* package globs: foo-*
* package regexs: foo.*
* based on the Origin in the Release file of the mirror
* based on an option in the sources.list:
deb [popcon=no] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
