Title:
  improve help text in the statistics tab

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  software-properties' statistics tab text could be improved. Right now
  it says that the list of "installed software" will be sent
  "anonymously". This doesn't gives users enought information about
  what's being sent. It also uses some words that I don't think users'
  understand or care, like "users experience", or "statistical".
  Aditionally, users may want to visit popcon.ubuntu.com, but there're
  no links.

  (as a side note: it's really neccesary to send the statistics 1 time
  per week? 1 time per month looks more sane)

  Proposal: "To improve Ubuntu please take part in the Ubuntu Popularity
  Contest. If you do so, Ubuntu will recolect the list of software
  you've currently installed and how often it was used and will be sent
  to the Ubuntu Project on a weekly basis. The results are used to know
  what software our users like more, so we improve the support for the
  popular applications that the Ubuntu community likes more.

  Ubuntu will NOT recolect personal information or any other kind of
  data, sensible or not. Your privacy will not be vulnerated. All the
  information recolected will be sent anonymously so the Ubuntu Project
  will not know where it comes from.

  o Yes, I want to take part in the Ubuntu Popularity Contest

  Visit http://popcon.ubuntu.com to see the results of the Contest"
