Bug Description

Related to bug 343110 and bug 505845 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/~/+affectingbugs (and the search for bugs affecting me in a pillar) excludes bugs that have been marked as dupes, and does not include the bug they were marked as a dupe of.

This could be fixed by:
 * folding across the affected user when marking the dupe (though that seems lossy/messy)
 * returning the master
 * returning the dupe

The last seems easiest, just by removing the "duplicateof is null" from the query.

I suggest returning the master - thats more consistent with our user
model around bugs, notifications etc. (Note that there is a bug asking
that affects-me sum across dups for the master bug)

I think that would be best, but since the db is timing out at the
moment even returning the current list, I hesitate to specify
something that will require doing even more work (a self join to find
the master.)

That's the bug I linked to ;-)

You can do that as a separate query, or work on that after the timeout
is addressed.
