Nop. Paulo used the right way. I will explain.
The previous upload was to experimental. As we know, the experimental
is parallel to unstable/testing/stable. So, the right way is close in
unstable, not in experimental, except for special situations. Closing
a bug in experimental won't solve the problem for final user. Consider
that some unfaithful person could upload to experimental and...
disappear. Well, the bug will be closed in experimental but never
solved for final users.
Paulo wrote in previous version:
acheck (0.5.3) experimental; urgency=medium
* QA upload.
[...]
* Parser.pm: fixed unescaped left brace in regex because it is
deprecated. It will solve #821017 when uploaded to Sid.
So, he didn't close the bug in revision 0.5.3. It was not forgotten.
