Would it work to add a status meaning "We're not interested in fixing 
the bug here specifically, but we'll happily pick up a fix if/when it 
appears in an upstream release"?

If so, what should the status be called? "Not For Us"? "Won't Fix"? 
"Won't Fix Here"? Bugs with such a status probably should appear by 
default in search results, so that (for example) if I encounter the bug 
in Ubuntu Firefox I can find the bug report even if you've already 
decided that Ubuntu won't be making a special effort to fix it.
