crossposting: How to deal with question asked twice on other stack exchange sites?

I have noticed a user asking the exact same question both on serverfault and stackoverflow. I'm referring to this question:

stackoverflow: importerror-no-module-named-xhaus-python-module-importing-error-from-ansible serverfault: importerror-no-module-named-xhaus-python-module-importing-error-from-ansible

To me it is obvious that the user placed to question on both sites to gain more attention. It has already been pointed out in other questions on meta serverfault crossposting is considered bad behavior, but I can't flag this question as duplicate because the flag as duplicate function gives me

The duplicate question must exist on Server Fault

I would like to see a clear guideline how to deal with those question and maybe it should be made possible to mark questions as duplicate when asked on other stack exchange sites.
