Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Version: 2.5.4

Hello,

I recently made an error in a package I maintain, where I swapped two digits in 
the bug; i.e. instead of closing 123, I closed 213. Fortunately, the other bug 
was not affected as it was already closed.

I have seen the error before on a mailing list (debian-science), and am thus 
suggesting that it could be possible for lintian to query the BTS to determine 
if the following two scenarios exist:

1) Bug exists if closing (Error if not exists)
2) Bug is not closed (Error if already closed)
3) Bug is owned by current package (warning?)

Thanks.
