I see debian work as tailoring upstream one so that it best fits our
users. Selecting the appropriate information from the upstream changelog
that describe how bugs reported in our BTS got closed is part of such
tailoring.

Beside that and more practical: why documenting "closes:" in
debian/changelog if the users have no way to understand them? If it is
only for automatically closing bugs with the upload there is something
wrong with the usage of the instrument.

Cheers.
