Well, I have something similar to this, for the case of Ubuntu:

http://delfin.unideb.hu/~kg0021/ddtp-listak/popcon-sort/ddtp-main-popcon.html
http://delfin.unideb.hu/~kg0021/ddtp-listak/popcon-sort/ddtp-universe-popcon.html

These tables are sorted by the popularity contest value of the packages, so I think they show quite accurately what is 
actually used by Ubuntu users.


The story of these tables (in case somebody cares :)) is that we want to translate the package decriptions for the 
applications visible in the Add/Remove tool, which is in the Applications menu on Ubuntu. So we took the files used to 
show the application list, applied some shell woodoo with wild guesses, and generated tables with application names and 
links pointing to those package descriptions we wanted to care about in the vast ddtp templates of Rosetta^HLaunchpad 
Translations. As the Add/Remove tool contains ~1500 packages from the Universe repo, it seemed a good idea to sort the 
table according to the popcon value, so we can start translating the really popular applications.
