There doesn't necessarily need to be a bug in the BTS for each change.
The reason I mentioned it is that having them does make it easier to
track the status of a particular issue being addressed in any given
suite - checking BTS metadata is generally quicker and easier than
unpacking the source packages and trying to locate the relevant fixes.
(That's also why I mentioned the particular changes that I did, as my
initial cursory review involved pulling the Closes: out of your mail and
looking at the metadata.)

Adam
