Bug Description
Since the removal of the 'opt-in' or was it an 'opt-out' dialog in older versions of the Ubuntu(d-i) installer, I have _manually_ enabled the popcon utility via:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest
I notice that the website: https:/
Is this utility really helpful to the Ubuntu Dev's? Should I continue to _manually_ enable it after each install, as I have for over 5+ years?
If not, can it be removed from the 'ubuntu-standard' package depends?
Please let me know if this is still a useful item to keep on my post-install checklist.
Thank you!

Why reporting here, as its an internal canonical spyer, and not on the user side.
Better to get contact on the mailing list or irc.
