Well, the fundamental idea of a changelog is to describe what changed in the
package, not to provide a convenient means to close bugs via the .changes
file. Changelog entries should be focused on the change, not the bug, and
should be descriptive enough to allow someone who was not involved with the
bug report (e.g., most users of the package) to understand what changed.
