@Bryce I hadn't seen that before I commented - sorry for any confusion added. I'm not aiming for a long debate, merely to find the cheapest overall solution.

For folk just reading the bug report, the concerns are:
 - having potentially a two-times increase in open bugs
 - making it harder to trawl through bugs and decide what to work on
 - obscure either the reporters name or the attachments

And not mentioned:
 - closing bugs in changelogs will need two bug numbers in these cases.

I can't really assess the cost of the overhead that these things will incur.

Bryce did suggest just having apport not dupe things onto private bugs, but I don't see how that is functionally different.
