To understand what went wrong you have to understand that the scripts
just use the .changes file you uploaded. It contains a
Closes: line. This one is used for closing bugs. The line itself
is generated from the considered changelog entries by dpkg-genchanges
(normally not called directly but by dpkg-buildpackage). Which changelog
entries to consider (by default only the latest one) can be configured
by the -v option for dpkg-genchanges (or dpkg-buildpackage, which will
pass it on to dpkg-genchanges).
Thats the "magic" :)
