This has nothing particularly to do with Canonical. There are hundreds
of Ubuntu developers who had access to that bug report while it was
private, and most of them don't work for Canonical.

It's bad manners, and sometimes counterproductive, to mark a public bug
report as a duplicate of a private one. If it happens again to a report
you're involved with, I suggest you complain to the person who marked it
that way, rather than to the launchpad-users@ mailing list.

Cheers
