I think imported comments should not have comment numbers. Their URLs on Launchpad should probably be based on their ID, or the #<num> links (obviously without a number) should point directly back to the comment in the bug tracker from whence they came. > When Robert and I spoke about this, we discussed adding imported > comments on the end of the bug report to better indicate when the > imported comments were added relative to the LP bug page. I think this would be more confusing. I think it's important to show messages chronologically. Imported comments do have a distinctive look already; perhaps they can be made more so. In general, I agree that comment numbers should be written once. I don't think holes in the numbering are a problem. At least it's obvious there's something missing. More confusing is renumbering.
