I have exactly the same gripe. I did read through all the docs I could
find yesterday and couldn't find the real documentation.

I had saved a mail from Guy from Jan 31 with Subject: dinstall can now
announce packages & close bugs for you.
Message-ID: <87btjffs8s.fsf@femto.dyn.ml.org>

It has this to say:

    dinstall will look for a Format field of 1.6 and a new Closes field.
    Closes is a space separated list of bugs closed by the upload.  In
    your changelog, the perl regular expression
    /closes:\s*(bug)?\#\d+(,\s*(bug)?\#\d+)*/i is used to build the
    Closes field.

But from one try it seems that the format is more like "closes: #1234"
(so without the word "bug").
