File bugs at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu

Whether it results in changes is another matter. In my experience most 
bugs - or more accurately, enhancement suggestions - filed against 
Debian packages are dismissed by the maintainers. With Ubuntu they seem 
to be a bit more open to outside ideas, but suffer from a worse problem, 
which is permitting packages to progress to a release even while they 
still have critical bugs. 

I have a couple of open bugs against Fiesty for critical problems in two 
packages (integrit segfaulting and XFS file system corruption, both 
reproducible), yet the release happened, and the tickets have stagnated. 
6 months later I've still got a hold on those two packages due to the 
latest Fiesty versions being broken. I've never needed to place a hold 
on a Debian package.
