"There are at least ~800 known bugs in Ubuntu where it is confirmed the bug is related to upstream but nobody has taken the time to notify upstream about it. People triaging the bug reports say "this bug also effects upstream project X" but it is never actually reported to upstream. I'm guessing that list would be over 1000 if all such bugs that have slipped through the cracks were accounted for."
