Bug Description

According to bug 365489 NullBugtask is no longer in use. However, it's still possible to hit a NullBugTask (and thus get an OOPS if you try to do anything with it) by visiting a long-form URL of a package bug that has no distro task in the context of the distro. E.g.: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/482419 will take you to a bug page, but if you try to follow the +nominate link it will OOPS (OOPS-1616ED1246).

If you visit the short form of the bug URL Launchpad will redirect you to a usable context; Launchpad should do the same if you visit the distro context since it makes no sense otherwise.
