Bug Description

e.g. Bug #863621 Bug #818721
Apport retracing service says:
Please look at the other bug report ...
... any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report.

Which isn't possible since it's a private bug. Mouse hover over bug number: tooltip says bug not found. (screenshot)

'Remember' dialog says:
Comment here only if you think the duplicate status is wrong.

A user can't decide if the dupe status is wrong when origin can't be accessed.

Abbreviated suggestion:
Apport retracing service: your bug is a duplicate of a private bug. You can't comment on the origin but we'll inform you about it's status.
