Wow! Zim gets almost no bug triage. Still, the bugs against zim are actionable, whereas this bug is not as originally stated.

Separately, I think there is likely value in finding a way to determine the set of applications that are useless or don't work, and that noticing when users install them, and immediately uninstall them can help, and that this data could be used to generate a blacklist for released packages. I just don't think that a bug is the way to fix that: it needs more thought and discussion, and affects lots of places (multiple packages, possible privacy concerns for collecting user data, changes to the repository management system, etc.). As such, generating a specification is more likely to provide a useful response by people who might be able to implement such a system.
