I agree. I think we should:
1. Display duplicate status as "Duplicate"
2. Allow commenting on those bugs anyway, so someone can ask "Is
this really a dupe of X?", etc.
3. Match duplicate bugs in dupe bug searches, rather than fancily
showing only their dupe targets, so that the user may stumble on a
duplicate report that better resembles the way they experienced the bug.
