There is one candidate I would like to suggest.

It is more about infrastructure than userspace, but those of you who 
help out sometimes in the "Answers" section know that there is sometimes 
heavy trouble caused from.

It is the package

ubuntu-release-upgrader

In my experience it is nothing worser than a system that fails on/after 
upgrade.

Regarding to

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader

we have only 99 bugs open and with this much less then on totem(>300 
when I remember correct), but they are harder to handle.

Mostly users give only a weak description, of the kind of "it do not 
upgrade".

So here would be log reading a task that comes to us, to identifiy what 
is the same(and I expect that there are some dublicates hidden) and what 
is not.

What do you think about?

Handling bugs of the ubuntu-release-upgrader

would be of some structural benefit that see wider than only on one 
release or only the actual daily problems.

A more stable release upgrader would decrease the fear of the people to 
upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version.

One consequence would be that we have less bugs on older version, which 
swamp launchpad.
