It surely is very useful for both package maintainers as well as upstreams. I've analyzed the report for libav: http://www.upstream-tracker.org/versions/libav.html and found the results very interesting and enlightning. The results themselves seem very detailed and accurate to me but I think their interpretations of the results is too strong. For libav, most of the incompatible changes are covered by API usage constraints which this automated service cannot possibly be aware of. This means that you have to carefully read all of the report and use the findings with a grain of salt.
