And it's not just me. I've noticed that a lot of people get the same
problem from Ubuntu upgrades. That isn't to say that nobody can
upgrade their Ubuntu system, but I personally believe that 75% of
upgrades fail, at least on a minor scale.
I would be interested how you reach a figure of 75%
How many Ubuntu users have you polled?

Months of hanging out on the Ubuntu forums, both lurking as a guest
and being a registered member for a while:

Every day there seemed to be at least three new topics about "apt-get
dist-upgrade" breaking a system.
I think one should keep in mind that Debian users in general tend to be
more thorough and careful with their systems. Ubuntu users are, on the
other hand, *on an average* less experienced in the nitty gritty details
of the configurations (I am not saying *all* Ubuntu users tend to be
novices). Given this, it is no wonder that more number of dist-upgrades
create problems in Ubuntu -- so it may not be Ubuntu to be blamed, the
blame rests partly on users too. Hell, if one is careful enough, one can
even upgrade a Fedora distribution via yum with no problems (I did that,
twice).
