Wouldn't it make more sense to have a tool that reformats the messages
from the BTS in a way that git-dch can handle these? 

I'm using git-am too and have to reformat most of the mail anyway so
something like a gbp-am that: 
 * applies the patch using git-am
 * reformats the subject by stripping the "bug# xxxx [package xy]" part
 * adding a proper "Closes: #" meta tag 
would probably be something useful?
