That is in case the bug report has an upstream task, but that isn't
always the case.

For example, I usually forward Liferea bugs upstream on IRC, and the
upstream developer directly fixes it in SVN. What I do then is mark the
Ubuntu bug as Fix Committed, with the intention to close it with the
next bug-fix release.

In that case, you can't search for 'Bugs Closed Elsewhere' in the
Advanced Search.

Emilio
