I was recently looking up some info for the upstream author of a package I maintain in Debian and Ubuntu, and I saw that number. It's pretty impressive that we have over one million submissions from an opt-in program. In fact, Debian's number seems to be at only 84894. One thing I'd like to see though is for Ubuntu to have package report pages like Debian does.
