Because it serves no (additional) purpose (we have a watch file
for that already) except of cluttering buglist (which is already
quite long) even more, making it more unreadable.  I will most
likely forget to close it when the new version will be packaged,
so I closed it when I do remember it.

But actually, the more I think about this all, the less I care.
I wanted to fix real bugs in busybox, but no one else did so.
Instead, a bin-nmu has been uploaded (with the changes which
I already did locally, waiting for busybox to enter wheezy).
If fixing bugs in wheezy isn't needed, why new version is
desirable?  I don't understand.

Thanks,
