I don't know if this has been considered yet:

It is pretty easy to close the wrong bug by mistake.  Reporting such a
mistake was in fact my first interaction with a Debian developer.

Should the installer check, before closing a bug, if that bug was
reported to the source package (or one of its binary packages) that
closes it?

Such a check will cause a bit of work for the maintainer when a package
changes names, but this will be pretty rare.
