Do you agree that closing bugs thru debian/changelog is easier than the old
fashion way of using ####-done@bugs.debian.org?  Do you agree that because it
is easier, it saves you time?

So, if it saves you time, why aren't you writing better changelogs?

If people really think that:

 * Closes: #1234

is appropriate in a changelog, then consider when we didn't have this feature.
Would:

 *

be a valid line in a changelog?  No, it wouldn't.
