There was some discussion about this at UDS and the consensus
seemingly was not to allow others to apport-collect into an existing
bug. If the information is relevant, a note can be added to the
description to look at the other bug. The problem is that users don't
necessarily know if a bug is really a duplicate or not and the bug
reports end up being tangential and very hard to decipher if the
original report exists/still exists.
