from DD Reference [1]: "If you happen to mistype a bug number or forget a bug in the changelog entries, don't hesitate to undo any damage the error caused. ...To close any remaining bugs that were fixed by your upload, email the .changes file to <xxx-d...@bugs.debian.org>, where XXX is the bug number, and put Version: YYY and an empty line as the first two lines of the body of the email, where YYY is the first version where the bug has been fixed. Bear in mind that it is not obligatory to close bugs using the changelog as described above. If you simply want to close bugs that don't have anything to do with an upload you made, do it by emailing an explanation to <xxx-d...@bugs.debian.org>. Do not close bugs in the changelog entry of a version if the changes in that version of the package don't have any bearing on the bug."
