i am on it. From looking at it briefly it seems like as Phil presumed.
You need certain privileges to declare a relationship (update rights on
the bug you are reporting), which people don't have right now (except
for their own packages i think). Need to do some tests to verify this.

Right now the package owner should be able declare the relationship and
you could give him a heads up, by just including the relevant #<bugid>
in the bug notes. Btw., what's the reason to post a bug report that is a
duplicate?
