It does. But only to know how the versions are related. It doesn't
extract bug numbers by itself, dpkg-genchanges does that only and dak
reuse that info to set the fixed version (by sending a mail to -done with
the Version pseudo-header).

The "versions" graph like this one are built by the BTS by aggregating
infos from changelogs found in the various suites:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/version.cgi?info=1;width=;absolute=0;found=2.3.2.ds1-10;height=;package=libc6;format=png;collapse=0;ignore_boring=0
