This is a *really* interesting idea! At this stage it's difficult to do because the system which publishes the packages on the net is totally disconnected from the system which tracks them internally. Also, "subscribe to the PPA" really means "has the PPA in their sources file", and that has all the usual issues in terms of figuring out how many users you have in a distro, but I think with some cunning log analysis we could generate traffic profiles for PPAs and packages published in PPAs.
