That's why someone else suggested that the bugs be marked "fixed".
If you close bugs immediately, before new versions of the package are
available, then you run the risk of people submitting duplicate bug reports.
Granted, that's not as much of a waste of time as if two people were working
on the same bug, but given that people generally don't work on bugs "out of
the blue", (unless they are NMU'ing), but rather with close communication
with the package maintainer, I don't think that's as much of a concern.
