I noticed that I have hundreds of files whose names start with
"popularity-contest" in /var/log. They don't even seem to be logs.
They seem to be data that popularity-contest sends away.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a bug? It seems they are in the
wrong place or, at least, logrotate should be erasing the old ones.
