 If you think about this, it is a good thing: people spend their time on
 fixing issues that seem important to them, across all packages.  Right
 now in Debian, each maintainer fixes issues he/she considers important
 in his/her packages, sometime maintainers are allowed to fix very
 important issues in packages of other maintainers.
   I think the Ubuntu model will sort bugs distribution-wide instead of
 per co-maintained packages group.
