The bucketing is done based on the crash signature and does not factor in the
Ubuntu version. This is by design as the same exception causing code can live
in multiple versions in multiple operating system releases.

The most common problems report shows the buckets that have the highest totals
for a given combination of fields. That is, given any combination of the
Ubuntu release, source package name, and period (day, month, year), what
buckets have seen instances of a problem with that combination of fields more
than 20 times.

This is taken from the DayBucketCount Column Family, which is keyed on a set
of the aforementioned fields, separated by colons, with the individual column
names being the crash signature (bucket ID) and their values being their
current count:
