popcon to be removed from the standard seed

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Hi all,

We are planning to remove the “popularity-contest” package from the
standard seed, meaning that new installs will not include it. This package
is intended to report (anonymously) the most installed packages on Ubuntu
systems to the Ubuntu developers. It turns out the package and backend have
both been broken since 18.04 LTS without being much missed so we have
decided to remove the package from the default install and discard the
Ubuntu delta for the package.

Cheers,
