I'm not sure this needed (anymore?)
The devref reads:
"To acknowledge an NMU, include its changes and changelog entry in
your next maintainer upload. If you do not acknowledge the NMU by
including the NMU changelog entry in your changelog, the bugs will
remain closed in the BTS but will be listed as affecting your
maintainer version of the package."
I totally don't understand what's the meaning of "the maintainer
version of the package". Based of the BTS behaviour I saw, I'd say it
collects the package's versions (so the package's history) from
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/$letter/$package/unstable_changelog.
If you retain the entry for the NMU (you should) in the changelog, the
BTS will contain to consider your package as fixed, even if you don't
ack the NMU.
Please enlighten me if I got this wrong :)
