[mb-users] Pre-gap tracks / duplicate albums

[Chris B]

i don't really have an opinion as such, but i've seen one example in
the DB of this and it's done with the pre-gap track as the 1st track
of a duplicate release:
http://musicbrainz.org/release/bc71aa3c-da45-455b-bb97-79bf9cc37a1e.html
(inc pre gap track)
http://musicbrainz.org/release/188d704b-678d-499d-b488-516a7247cc01.html (not)

not sure if there's enough of these releases to make any kind of
precedent, though! i just try and ignore them :)
