Is there any way to objectively measure stability among debian

and then we have threads asking how much unstable unstable is, and the
replies are always like 'depends', or 'your mileage may vary' and such.
If a there's a good soul somewhere keeping statistics of broken
stuff and bugs grouped by packages and flavours, I'd REALLY like to see it.

The problem with measuring stability is that AFAICT, the BTS only
tracks bugs by package name, not by version or branch.


Versioning was added to debbugs shortly after the Sarge release.
