Yeah, it's a hard problem to solve. Maybe we shouldn't show bug
listings of products that don't use Malone. These bugs haven't been
added been added by filing them directly on the product, they were
first filed in Ubuntu, and then "forwarded" to the product, which is a
perfectly valid thing to do.

I think we need to try to explain this in the UI somehow. Hiding the
bugs isn't a correct thing to do, since it can be good to get a overview
of all the bugs in product, even if it doesn't use Malone directly. Soon
we'll start syncing the status of the bugs from the upstream bugtracker.
