If it saves you time, just do it. Usually, you respond with the
version of the upstream package you are applying the patch to. That
information together with your wonderful verbose Changes file is
sufficient for me to determine whether a bug can be closed and the
like.
The bug reports would last longer in the state open instead of
fixed-upstream, but for the Debian environment that doesn't matter
since the bug is still open inside Debian anyway. However, man-pages
are updated quite often, and I'm at least trying not to let too much
time pass until I update the Debian package.

Joey
