Long answer:
dh will run dh_genchanges which will run dpkg-genchanges, which will
use the find_closes function of the Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian
perl module from libdpkg-perl to extract closed bugs from the
debian/changelog entry and then write those bugs to Closes filed in
the .changes file. The maintainer will upload that .changes file to
the Debian archive and dak (the Debian archive software) will use the
closed_bugs function to extract those bug numbers and send bug closing
mails to each of them.
