What I mean is that when closing bugs in your changelog entry, it should
actually describe what fixes the bug.  So "New upstream release (closes:
#nnn)" implies that #nnn was about packaging a new upstream release.
"Fix vanilla flavor to not taste like chocolate (closes: #mmm)" implies
that #mmm is about something being wrong with the vanilla flavor of ice
cream.
