Bug #289643 was not a request for packaging the new upstream version: it was
a bug report complaining about the program failing to start.  "New upstream
version" has nothing to do with why this bug was closed.

Bug #269952 was not a request for packaging the new upstream version; it was
a report about broken icons.

Bug #265284 was not a request for packaging the new upstream version; it was
a request to change some strings in the interface, which were changed
upstream.  But "New upstream version" is not why this bug was closed.

Bug #270096 and bug #286234 are requests for the new upstream version.  So
it is appropriate to list them as such.

If you're going to use the upload bug-closing convenience feature, use it
right -- your changelog should have something relevant to say about the bug,
which is *not*, in this case, "New upstream version".
