This approach surely don't raise the level of Debian.
Maybe *you* do not care of the details about the bug you reported. But
a Debian developer is entitled, normally, to provide information
according to what *users* can expect.
We are not here speaking about what some people do not care about but
what some debian users do care about and how they can be easily
satisfied.
The fact that frequently we have to talk about that proves at least
one thing: some users do care about details of the bugs and expect to
get them in the changelog they receive by mails.
If as debian developer you do care about what some *users* wants, the
safest solution is to provide this information. It should takes you
about 3 minutes to document these bugfixes. It is too much?
