Current best practice is to close the bug as soon as the fixed package hits unstable. This is what happens if you close the bug in your changelog, unless it's an NMU, in which case it gets tagged 'fixed' instead. There has been a lot of interest recently in associating bugs with specific versions of packages, and I think this interest is being translated into code. In the meantime, closing bugs as soon as there's a fixed version seems to be the most effective way to manage bugs in the BTS, generally speaking. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
