Picky, picky. http://master.debian.org/~ajt/graph2.png ; the raw data's
in master:~ajt/bugsvtime, fwiw.

And of the top contenders: apt recently closed 60 odd bugs when it jumped
from version 0.1.x to 0.3.x, glibc2.1 got uploaded with its swathe of bugs,
netbase got a new maintainer, synced with upstream stuff and had a fair
few local changes made.
I don't particularly know what's up with ppp, dpkg, man-db, boot-floppies
and bash, though.
But it's nice to see that the `majority' of packages with new bugs are
due to changes in unstable rather than user's discovering bugs just after
we release.
Cheers,
