I wanted to propose that bugs related with package upgrades be given a priority of critical (or high), so the firsts bugs listed are those and this will prevent people spending time patching bugs that lately will just go away with an upgrade.

For example, see the case of gnome-media: it has 133 opened bugs, but just an upgrade will fix all of them since the software has been rewritten from scratch; and the upstream developers no longer supports the version used in Ubuntu:

 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/gnome-media/+bug/1363973>

Shorting this kind of bugs first will fix many flaws and prevent hours of useless patching. In fact, it could be the difference between the application working or staying broken in Ubuntu releases.
