I see three sources of a potentially useful density of reports post-release: 1. Regressions in -proposed/-updates. 2. Regressions from -security updates. 3. Packages used more significntly by non-developers that don't get a lot of use before release. I do think if there's a reasonable way to report all crashes from -proposed, that would be a good thing.
