For ‘pbuilder’, you can add a hook that automatically runs Lintian on
every package it builds. Other packaging tools will surely have a
similar feature.

Instead, when you first create the package, edit ‘debian/changelog’ and
make “Initial Debian package of ‘foo’ (Closes: bug#NNNNNN)” the very
first bullet point in your first changelog entry. Then you won't need to
keep looking it up.
