First, sorry for the late responding, but I was hill with no-possibility
to announce it.

ah Note, that a new upload, that correctly closes the bugs, will be 
incorrect as
ah well.

ah The reason for that is the new upload actually doesn't contain the 
changes
ah that close the bug, so shouldn't be used to close them.

I had applied (the right) patches suggested in bug reports.. So what do
you mean?

Sure, it works in that it closes the bugs, but it conveys very little
useful information to the submitter, people watching lists like
debian-bugs-closed, people reading apt-listchanges output, or people
reading through the changelogs next year looking for when a problem was
fixed.

Instead of just * Closes: #n, please say * Fixed incorrect
frobbing of foo, closes: #n - i.e. give a description of what was
changed.

(Now that the bugs have been reopened, in this particular case just mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a description of what was changed.
Brian's rightly trying to suggest that your changelogs should include
some detail of the changes in the future, though.)

Thanks,

The reason for that is the new upload actually doesn't contain the changes
that close the bug, so shouldn't be used to close them.

At this point, sending an explanation to ###-done, with the reason, is the
correct way to go about it.
