Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.12
Severity: important

As of today, dch has suddenly stopped allowing any bugs to be closed in
the changelog without issuing a nonsense warning:

e.g.
quicklist$ dch -a --closes 456022
dch warning: bug #456022 belongs to package ? (src ?),
  not to quicklist: disabling closing changelog entry
dch: Did you see that warning?  Press RETURN to continue...

Quicklist already lists this bug as closed from the old version of dch.
   * [INTL:fi] Finnish translation of the po file (Closes: #456022)

456022 is clearly a quicklist bug.

Again with emdebian-tools:

Existing bug:
  * [INTL:eu] Basque debconf templates translation update 
    (Closes: #459867)

$ dch -a --closes 459867
dch warning: bug #459867 belongs to package ? (src ?),
  not to emdebian-tools: disabling closing changelog entry
dch: Did you see that warning?  Press RETURN to continue...

For a new bug, 459945 which is titled:
emdebian-tools: [INTL:ru] Russian debconf templates translation update
and again, correctly filed against the correct package.

$ dch -a --closes 459945
dch warning: bug #459945 belongs to package ? (src ?),
  not to emdebian-tools: disabling closing changelog entry
dch: Did you see that warning?  Press RETURN to continue...

This is a major nuisance, making dch unusable for --closes.
