It is not now. Since the BTS is using version control, NMU acknowledgment is useless and may even confuse version control (version control is what says "this bug is fixed in that version" on bugs.debian.org and builds these fancy diagrans in the top right corner of bugs pages. In the past, NMU ACK was needed to really close bugs fixed in an NMU as NMUs were only tagging the bugs as "fixed", not really closing them. Since version control was implemented, this is no longer needed.
