It probably depends on the software (I know that GCC developers, for 
instance, want issues encountered with distro packages to get filed on 
distro trackers), but e.g. Gnash upstream wants to hear about the crashes in 
their software, whereas I don't, because unfortunately I really have no way 
to debug and fix all those crashes. I could spend some time on one or two 
arbitrary ones, but that wouldn't help getting all the others fixed.
