Adding: Note that uploads to experimental do not close bugs, but they do add the tag 'fixed-in-experimental'. Bugs addressed by NMU's to experimental keep the normal behavior, that is, they add the tag 'fixed'. to the section: 5.8.4 When bugs are closed by new uploads Would probably clarify it. I don't know whether or not you think that's worth a bug report, though. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
