Bug Description

Google seems to be returning URLs like <https://code.launchpad.net/bugs/862719> in its search results, duplicated with the actual page for that bug. That page doesn't actually exist - it's just a redirect to the real bug page <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862719> and always will be.

(Obviously Google can fix this too but the fact it's happening suggests we're publishing something not quite right.)

At the moment lp returns a 303; it should probably give a 301 'moved permanently' instead or 302 'found'.

Well, actually, it's returning a redirect to one particular bug context:

and that can change over time. But it's still not quite right.

I think this is caused defect is in the templates in lp.code. I reported a related issue a year or two ago that branch pages were making insane links to bugs on the code domain. The template/view was not passing the rootsite. I know fixes were landed. There are probably other cases where:
    path/bug/fmt:link
should be
    path/bug/fmt:link:bugs

There are four offending lines in code that all take the form of
    bugtask/fmt:link
But should be
    bugtask/fmt:link:bugs

The template is also used for blueprints; the specification urls are also pointing to the wrong vhost.
