So apparently it is not OK to send a message by hand to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with what I consider to be the most appropriate message for closing a bug --- by stating that the bug is fixed in a certain version of the package; but it is OK for someone to close the same bug by including a terse entry in the changelog, as in: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 04:46:38 -0500 Source: kernel-package Binary: kernel-package Architecture: source all Version: 8.034 Distribution: unstable Urgency: high Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Changed-By: Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Description: kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.
