You can still close bugs by mailing nnnnn-done@bugs.debian.org. The problem with using closes rather than this is that the submitter just gets notified that their bug has been closed with no explanation as to why. If you mail -done a copy of the mail gets sent to the submitter, hopefully explaining why the bug has been closed. IOW, all removing the closes command does is help prevent one kind of error in BTS usage. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
