The 'close' command has been deprecated since at least February 2002 [0],
and its use is strongly discouraged by ยง5.8.2 of the developers
reference:

    You should never close bugs via the bug server close command sent to
    cont...@bugs.debian.org. If you do so, the original submitter will
    not receive any information about why the bug was closed. [1]

After almost 20 years of deprecation, maybe it's time to finally drop
it?
