I'm interested in package popularity. I'm aware of popcon
(https://popcon.debian.org/), but I'm more interested in actual
downloads.

Do the debian mirrors track unique downloads (e.g. by hashed IP
address), and if no, why not? I can understand the privacy argument,
but arguably package downloads aren't particularly revealing? And data
could be aggregated daily, thus limiting exposure.
