No. [It's not clear to the BTS whether a blocked bug should be closed
when the blocking bug is closed, or it means that the blocked bug can
now be worked on; if this is a feature that would be useful, please
file a wishlist bug against debbugs with suggestions on how this would
work.]

Since you've submitted #987654, you'll know about its closure;
whether you subscribe to it or not is up to you.
