The "done" status of a bug report almost never matters, to tools or to
people.
And tools like the migration and autoremoval ones care whether a bug is
fixed in a given release, which is easily seen on the graph on the bug
report page.

Closing bugs manually requires a lot of understanding how all of this
works.
You tried to mark both 1090262 and 1090264 as fixed in various packages
that either don't exist or are not the package that the bug was reported
against, so the packages remained to be marked as buggy. 
It seems that you did this because the bug was not in the packages those
reports were filed against but in a different package. The reports
describe this possibility and the correct way to deal with this:
"If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
page for this package." If this was done, the bug reports would be
correctly closed by the upload that fixed the bug itself.
