Bug Description
When working with Canonical customers, we frequently end up in situations where we have a proprietary bug in our private project, and a separate public bug for the same issue within Ubuntu. The need for this duplication is that the private bug may contain confidential information that needs to remain private, but the public bug is needed for transparent tracking of an issue to be resolved in Ubuntu. Right now there is no way to link the two within launchpad, so we do a lot of manual work to keep the private bug up to date. It would be nice if I could link the bugs in LP and have it moni
It occurs to me that this is a similar use case to having a LP bug monitor the status of an issue in another bug tracker (e.g. debbugs). That is we want our bug to monitor the status of another bug in a read-only fashion. It just happens that our "other bug" is also in LP.

There have been vague plans for some time to have generic "bug linking", where you can see the existence and status of linked bugs if you can see those bugs.
