Do you agree that closing bugs thru debian/changelog is easier than the old
fashion way of using ####-done@bugs.debian.org? Do you agree that because it
is easier, it saves you time?
So, if it saves you time, why aren't you writing better changelogs?
If people really think that:
* Closes: #1234
is appropriate in a changelog, then consider when we didn't have this feature.
Would:
*
be a valid line in a changelog? No, it wouldn't.
