Comment 5 for bug 664088

@Robert. Thanks! I agree, I especially see the point in the case of large software component such as the Linux kernel. I have seen several cases where bug-filers comments have confused developers more than helped due to laziness of not reporting a separate bug. I also see the point in apport and bug filing wizard suffers in detecting duplicates (I wonder why bug #650550 didn't show up for this one).

Nevertheless I have also seen (apart from this one) seen examples where bug-filers have felt offended by their bugs being marked duplicates of later bugs.

Though, an interesting discussion, it should take place somewhere else... I will end here with the open question how does duplication marks affect the bug-filers karma? For the bug-filer of the duplicate bug? and for the bug-filer of the main bug?
