according to the maemo.org team is not possible to measure updates directly,
even the download count has a big lag.
The only way to implement solution #6 is measuring the downloads between
versions, but that can be a problem for apps that never receive a update.
I'll think about a alternative to this solution.

I like this solution, but the voting system is still broken, I keep
receiving anonymous votes all the time, don't know from where, maybe
maemo-select ? (there's a bug reports about that) .
Also is possible to vote several times in the same app.
