I reported a crash in Synaptic yesterday:

Now, the Apport retrace service invalidated this bug because I don't
have scrollkeeper installed. But scrollkeeper is deprecated and
replaced by rarian-compat (which is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop).
Also, Synaptic installs works just fine *without* scrollkeeper.
This sounds very similar to the this bug I reported recently:
https://launchpad.net/bugs/341358
I had already filed a bug too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/355481
(I've marked it as a duplicate of your report.)
I see you were also concerned about other crasher bugs being hidden,
but according to Martin those bug reports have useless stacktraces
anyway.
Maybe the stacktrace is useless, but the number of such crashes might be
important too (Synaptic has been crashing like that for some time now),
or maybe there is a reason why the stacktraces are like that?
Seems like something is wrong with the retrace service, and I wonder how
many legitimate crasher bugs have been invalidated because of this?
I really hope not too many other packages are impacted, and I think it
might be useful to have a look at the invalidated bugs reported against
those packages...
Apport consistently rejected at least crasher bugs in kdebluetooth4,
which was crashing on suspend/resume. As you can see from IRC log, it
seems that retracing service does not select | dependancies
correctly (expects the first one to be installed).
I was already suspecting something like that, but Synaptic doesn't use
|. I think in this case the problem is that rarian-compat replaces,
conflicts provides the scrollkeeper package, while synaptic has a
dependency on scrollkeeper, and ubuntu-desktop has a dependency on
rarian-compat.
