If I look at my package thru debian packaging: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libs/libswe.html It thinks my ITP #635672 is still open. However the changelog file contains a entry like this: .....libswe (1.77.00.0001-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release (Closes: #635672)....... Why does packaging not see this? Have I made a mistake?
Not you, but your sponsor.Quoting Developer's Reference §5.8.4: “Unless specified different by the -v-switch to dpkg-buildpackage, only the bugs closed in the most recent changelog entry are closed (basically, exactly the bugs mentioned in the changelog-part in the .changes file are closed).”
