Exactly, Debian Popularity Contest was what I was looking for yesterday.

Thanks Matthew.

[1] says in Inst (204701):

Name                              || Number  || %
==================================
binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu || 101548  || 49.61%
binutils-ia64-linux-gnu     ||          11  || 0.01%

HELP: Inst. is the number of people who installed this package (sum of
the four categories below)

There may be more popular packages than binutils.
( binutils might tell something about development happening or not. )

Anyway, I am not a popcon expert and never participated in Debian's
Popularity Contest.
