I think if we limit the suggestions to a reasonable size based on an simple-ish
algorithm we should be covered. When I want to submit a bug to debian often I
have to go through hundreds of bugs, this is hard. I don't want to over-burden
the bugmaster either since he is the one who has to look at each bug and
classify it, mark it as a dupe, etc. We should try to get the bug submitter to
do some of this work, as much as possible.
