Re: premature closing of bugs

While you are quite correct, I believe that the only reasonable fix for this
problem is to complete the adoption and implementation of one of the
mechanisms to cause the tools on master to close bugs indicated in the
changes as being closed by a given upload.
As a package maintainer, once I've fixed the bug in my source tree and
uploaded the fix, I really don't want to have to think about that bug again.
In the current system, that means that I almost always close bugs once I've
successfully completed the upload, rightly or wrongly. Maybe I should be
re-assigning them to ftp.debian.org? 1/2 :-)
