I don't think it's necessary to reconsider this. The reason why we decided
to have only `dinstall' check for the "closes:" patterns is that a) we
don't want to implement the parsing procedure on both sides
(dpkg-genchanges and dinstall) and b) it's easier to keep the new upload
procedure up-to-date in case any changes are necessary in the future. (It
will probably take some time until all developers have upgraded to the
latest dpkg-dev package.)
Thanks,
Chris
