This is not a proper changelog entry.

A proper entry is as follows:

* New upstream release.
  * no longer does foo when bar happens. Closes: #12345
  * wrapper script rewritten to not use $$ in tempfile names.  Closes: #12345

Please, everyone remember, a changelog documents *changes*.  It's not a tool
to close bugs automatically.

The BTS sends these close messages to the submitter when the bug is closed.
However, the email above has no reason as to why the bug was closed.  It's not
sufficient to just say a new upstream version was uploaded, which just happens
to fix the bug.  As a submitter, would you feel satisified that you had just
gotten such a mail?
