Greetings,
Debian has a mechanism to evaluate the popularity of packages. The
results of this `popularity contest' are available at:
http://people.debian.org/~apenwarr/popcon/. It is interesting to note that
ippl's[0] popularity is much higher than argus', 300 users vs. 2 users
respectively. I've written an argus2ippl script which converts an argus flow
file to the format ippl users are accustomed to, so this will hopefully
change things a bit.
Just thought you might want to know.

[0] ippl is a very rudimentary connection logger. It does not provide
accurate output, mainly due to the fact that it uses a raw socket.
This provides users with a false sense of protection/awareness.
