Package: dh-make
Version: 0.40
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hello,

When reviewing packages on the debian-mentors list, I consistently see
them with this as their first changelog entry:

  * Initial release Closes: #12345

I think that misses some puntuation. I personally prefer the closes to
be in parentheses, but other separations could also be acceptable.

This comes from the following template:

  * Initial release Closes: #nnnn  (nnnn is the bug number of your ITP)

I've added a patch to add the parens around the closes, and to change
the parens around the comments to < and >, to be more consistent with
the other templates.

Thanks for the package by the way, I see on debian-mentors that it's
used very often and as such is very useful.
