I think a link to the Debian WNPP bug is suffcient and the most important. It'll automatically get updated to Fix Released when it's in Debian and can be sync'ed. I think the time you're putting in to manual statusing of needs-packaging bugs would be better spent triaging other bugs that need help, but it's your time. If this is how you want to spend it, knock your self out.
