Back in the company I used to work for, there was a special status for 
duplicates, with a link to the master copy.  The status would say:
  DUPLICATE see xxxxxxx
and one would therefore know to look at the master copy for current 
status.  Furthermore, duplicate bugs didn't show up as "outstanding" or 
"pending" or "closed".

If the bug recording software doesn't provide for such, perhaps it could be 
added?
