Cool, attached you'll find a list of bug numbers that are tagged apport-package and contain the string 'media error' in Dmesg.txt or CurrentDmesg.txt. An example of the type of bug you should find in the list is http://launchpad.net/bugs/773721. Although DpkgTerminalLog appears in the bug description. We can see that the package failed to install due to a 'short read on buffer copy' and looking at the end of Dmesg.txt we can see hardware errors trying to read from sda. Again this likely means their hardware is faulty. I commented on the bug, tagged it hardware-error (so we can get a count of these types of bugs) and marked it Invalid. However, based off discussions in the Bug Squad meeting today we should use Incomplete instead. There have been some false positives in the list, http://launchpad.net/bugs/742207, where the hardware error appears but isn't related to the package installation failure. So please be cautious! I've also added a hardware-error response to the ubuntu-qa-tools bzr branch that you could use. If you'd prefer a Greasemonkey response I could set one of those up too.
