2. To minimize confusion, a bug listing should not list the same bug
more than once, regardless of where the bug's reported.

I don't have a good solution for this problem yet, but here are some
brainstorm ideas to help consider different aspects of the problem in
more detail:
* Allow a bug to have only one status per
distribution/distrorelease/product, rather than being able to track
the assignee, status, milestone, importance, etc. per bug per package.
This makes it easy to not duplicate a bug in a distro or product bug
listing and reduces the likelihood of seeing dupes in +subscribedbugs
and such, and would generally simplify tracking the status of a bug.
Sometimes the same bug will need fixing in multiple packages.
* Allow a user to associate themselves with distributions and products
in a user preferences screen. This information could act a magnifying
glass on bug listings, and bug pages, and other parts of Launchpad.
So, if you're associated with distro A, but not distro B, and a bug is
reported in both, you see only the status for distro A in your
+subscribedbugs list. Some exceptions would be made, like being shown
that a "fix exists" if the bug was fixed upstream or by another
distro.
I think that would be unnecessarily difficult to understand and
configure, as well as not working for people who weren't logged in.
* (The most obvious one) Collapse all statuses of a bug into a single
row. mpt would need to be consulted for how best to do this.
...
Something like "Confirmed in Ubuntu, Fixed in 2 others" would work if
the search results weren't a table. I'll need to think more about how
to show it in the table.
