Because otherwise architecture-only uploads are going to try either
close already closed bugs or, worse, close reopened bugs.
e.g. Package foo 1.1-2 is released as (source i386) and it closes bug
#19000. The reporter of #19000 doesn't feel the bug has been dealt
with and reopens the bug. I come along and recompile foo 1.1-2 for
m68k and upload it. If non-source uploads automagically close bugs,
#19000 gets closed again. This is obviously Bad.

By hand.
