It would help if you told us the bug number you are talking about.

Index pages (by mntner, by package etc) are updated only every 4 or so
hours.

A bug's individual page (bugs.debian.org/nnnn) should be updated
as soon as mails are processed by the BTS (which is not immediatly when
mail arrives but only a few times per hours iirc). So by the time you
receive an ACK, the page should be up2date.
