Long answer: dh will run dh_genchanges which will run dpkg-genchanges, which will use the find_closes function of the Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian perl module from libdpkg-perl to extract closed bugs from the debian/changelog entry and then write those bugs to Closes filed in the .changes file. The maintainer will upload that .changes file to the Debian archive and dak (the Debian archive software) will use the closed_bugs function to extract those bug numbers and send bug closing mails to each of them. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
