A way to fix this is to change line 161 of /usr/sbin/popularity-contest

Old version:
open PACKAGES, "dpkg-query --show --showformat='\${status} \${package}\\n'|";

New version:
open PACKAGES, "dpkg-query --show --showformat='\${status} \${packagespec}\\n'|";

I don't know if that's the proper approach, but it seems to be working.
