I seem to remember we decided once to let the script that does the real
installation in the ftp-tree (dinstall) clos the bugs and defined a syntax
to use in the changelog so dinstall can recognize which bugs should be
closed. So now we just have to wait until someone decides to implement
this.

We might want to refine this procedure first though, since it's not
really suited for multiple-distributions.

<aol>Me too</aol>. However I stumble across these premature closed bugs
when I'm updating the Hamm Bug Stamp-Out List: a lot of bugs suddenly
disappear, and the packages are still in Incoming. Luckily these processed
were processed before I got around to sending the list :)
