I think setting the bug report to Invalid, since we have no way to find
out who the owner of the PPA is nor a guarantee that they've subscribed
to the package bug reports, and modifying the title and tagging as
you've suggested is the best available option.  This will still allow
PPA owners to find bug reports if they wish to go looking for them.
While this isn't the ideal solution I believe it is the least
objectionable.

When its easier to associate package versions with PPA owners, or the
previously mentioned Malone bug is resolved or PPA bug report volume
increases we should revisit the situation.
