Tracebacks from crashes in the release upgrader include a temporary directory name like so:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-5gz_r8/trusty", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-5gz_r8/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py", line 243, in main
    if app.run():

Because the temporary directory name changes between systems and upgrade attempts duplicates are not often consolidated in the error tracker or in Launchpad. Subsequently, it is difficult to judge the number of people affected by any particular crash in the release upgrade process.

This should be fixed in the apport package hook for update-manager in Precise and ubuntu-release-upgrader in Saucy.
