Bug Description

Copied from Ubuntu Bugsquad mailing list:

Following the last two reports on the mailing list

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1050656

and

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1050221

the "Lost Something?" launchpad website that is presented to users who have no priviledges for accessing private bugs seems to be misidentified by users as error or bug or broken link of launchpad.

May be the message should be a bit clearer than the actual one for users that are guided from a dublicate entry of their own report to such a page.

Given scenario here:

User report - > Apport-retracing identification as a dub of a already known private bug and automatically closing as such -> user misidentifies the "Lost Something" page as broken link and dedub their report wrongly
