Title:
  apport-comment instructions when not the submitter are confusing

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  I found an existing bug which I am also experiencing, and the
  submitter was asked to run apport-comment. The submitter was unable to
  because they no longer have the hardware that has the bug.

  I attempted to run apport-comment myself, specifying the bug id, but
  apport-comment told me that since I was not the submitter then it
  would be best if I submitted a new bug and merged them.

  I submitted a new bug and merged them, and then repeated apport-
  comment with my new bug id. Unfortunately apport-comment then repeated
  the same instructions, because my new bug was merged.

  In my opinion apport-comment either shouldn't care that I'm not the
  bug submitter, or else it should make clear that I should run it
  BEFORE merging the new bug with the existing one.

  Cheers,
  Andy
