Package: bugs.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2004-12-08
Severity: normal

There is a discussion on the debian-mentors mailing list about what
happens to bugs with "closed" entries in the changelog of an
experimental upload.  A patch to the developers refernece was proposed:

+If an upload to experimental has a <tt>closes: #<var>XXX</var></tt> in
+its <file>changelog</file>, the bug is not actually closed.  Instead
+the tag <tt>fixed-in-experimental</tt> is added to the bug.  Bugs
+addressed by NMUs to experimental keep the normal behavior, that is,
+they add the tag <tt>fixed</tt>.

However, if this is correct then I think the current actions on
experimental NMUs is broken.  If there is an experimental NMU of a
package that is in unstable, it should either tag the bug
fixed-in-experimental or a new fixed-in-experimantal-NMU tag,
otherwise a test upload by an NMUer to experimental could cause a
known buggy version to propigate from unstable to testing.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.

The changes to versioning of NMUs have fixed this
