The way files are attached and mails are sent all over could be improved by somehow grouping bunches of attached files together (both on mailing lists and on LP webpage display) to diminish the mess.
@Micah, I agree with the main argument, and that's more or less how I concluded that indeed I was supposed to file a new bug and tag it duplicated.
But there are side effects:
lots and lots of bugs that end up not being tagged duplicates creating really a lot of noise
many users will post a note pointing to the duplicate if they consider that the files might have interesting information, also creating noise and rendering the bug report webpage unreadable
Maybe create another status, instead of "Duplicate" it could be "Duplicate with crash logs" ?
