[SCM] Debian package checker branch, master, updated. 1.24.4-83-g636a9c5

["Russ Allbery" <rra@debian.org>]

The following commit has been merged in the master branch:
commit 636a9c50a476ab5154120c18dc6adadee251a245
Author: Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Aug 31 21:38:10 2008 -0700

    Warn about closing an unlikely bug number
    
    * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
      + [RA] Warn about closing a bug number less than 100; this is likely
        a typo or placeholder.  Thanks, Raphael Gessiert.  (Closes: #497350)
    
    This will also catch the case of Closes: #0 in an ITP, since it will
    warn about the unlikely bug number.
