We wouldn't need to add it as another status, like the other, New,
Accepted, etc., we could have it as a 'virtual' status instead. If the
bug is a duplicate, we'd display the status as Duplicate, while the
status stored in the database wouldn't be changed, it would still be New
or something like that. If the bug would be unmarked as a duplicate, the
original status would automagically reappear.
