A lintian-like test to see if the listed bugs match the package before uploading seems more useful to me. It would have prevented this particular problem.
Perhaps I am sloppy, but I often find it useful to close some bug in a changelog that I might not necessary have taken the time or remembered to reassign to the package that actually ended up fixing it, especially when large refactorings (like the apt-setup split out of base-config) are going on. -- see shy jo
