Suggestion for how to deal with games that don't detect correctly

Open

I bought the recent humble bundle and it shows up in my list of games as:

PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+
http://store.steampowered.com/app/236450/

However, the site is showing me giveaways for:

PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+ All You Can Eat Edition Bundle
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/31161/

I'm pretty sure the problem is that SG can't detect whether you own the DLC, but maybe if someone has all the games in a bundle like this, the site should do something to indicate that they may already own the bundle? i.e. highlight the giveaway differently (grey maybe - so you can visually see that you may already own it - or parts of it), and if the user tries to enter the giveaway, prompt them to confirm that they don't have the DLC, since they already own all the games in the bundle.

While I noticed this because it is fresh in my mind, others may not down the road - it may help discourage people from entering giveaways for bundles that they already have most of the content for too.

The workaround of course is for everyone to remember to hide the game - which is easy enough to do if it's fresh in your memory, but an implementation like suggested above will help catch more errors before they happen. Or if another version of the bundle is added at a later time (with say a subset of DLC) the above implementation would help you remember that you may already own all of it.
