Package: lintian Version: 1.23.8 Severity: wishlist I am trying to advocate the use of a "(closes: Bug#nnnnnn)" template in dh-make. The idea is that an initial release almost always closes an ITP. However, to guard against the possibility that a user forgets to replace the template appropriately, lintian/linda should warn against the use of a "closes" statement in debian/changelog which is not followed by one the acceptable formats and a number of numeric characters.
