Removing packages in the freeze is way too late, they should be

Indeed -- I should really have said something like "much earlier in the
release cycle".
There is apt-listbugs but does that work for things like PackageKit
or
software-center?
I'll be interested to hear what tools already exist that I've missed.
Then the challenge is to get them onto more machines in such a way that
people pay attention to what they say. Normally people are
installing/updating packages because they're trying to achieve some
goal, and they won't tend to interrupt that to debug issues that might
be mentioned in messages there. For some contributors, a popup
notification about new RC bugs like existing "upgrades are available"
ones might be useful, though clearly for many users this would just be
an unhelpful worry.
