The bug was already fixed in jessie at the time it was reported. So instead of just setting it to fixed in wheezy, I should have sent an email to NNN-done@bugs.debian.org *and* set it to fixed in wheezy? Or is there a way to directly close with the right version number (I assume using the Changelog is one option, but I believe that doesn't work if the package with the fix is already uploaded).
You want a Version: pseudo-header, as per https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing
It's possible I'm in a minority, but this is the sort of thing I'd expect anyone maintaining packages in Debian to be aware of. OMMV, obviously.
