Wrong way around.
Best way: in the changelog for the upload.
Right way: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Worst way: close nnn to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reason: the control@bugs method does not send any explanation to
the bug submitter, only a message saying that the bug was closed.
The subject line does not get sent, so your message won't get though.
The nnn-done@bugs message is included in the text of the message
sent to the submitter, so they get a reason why it is closed.
For the changelog method, dinstall actually sends the upload
announcement to [EMAIL PROTECTED] IIRC.
