What to do with the bugs of a removed package?

Hi,

recently, I filed a bug against ftp.d.o and asked for the removal of the 
package onshore-timesheet. That program is dead upstream, the Debian 
package has been orphaned and removed from testing, and it has several open 
bugs (including one RC).

Today, James Troup removed the package, thus closing my bug. In the 
explanation it reads:

"Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one."

I'm not quite sure what to do now, because the stable release of course 
still contains the package. Should I close all remaining bugs nevertheless, 
sending an explanation to the submitters? Or should I wait until the next 
stable release, because onshore-timesheet will then no longer be part of 
Debian stable?

Cheers,
