There are situations where you would know that the bug is fixed on both builds, e.g. if it's just an outright bug in the source and not a Debian-specific problem. In those cases, if you wish to, you can use (LP: #######) to close out the bugs just like you close out Debian bugs. You're not required to do that, but if you want to be helpful to them, then it's an option you have available. There are clear advantages to doing it, such as that it helps improve the Debian distribution ecosystem. As Ubuntu is the largest derivitive, to some extent, monitoring the buglist for your packages there helps to improve your own QA efforts on the packaging. William
