Package: devscripts Version: 2.21.4 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: r...@debian.org
The 'bts done' command uses the 'close' control command to close bug
reports. This command has been deprecated for almost 20 years (since at
least February 2002) [0,1] and goes against the best practices set out
in ยง5.8.2 of the developer's reference:
You should never close bugs via the bug server close command sent to
cont...@bugs.debian.org. If you do so, the original submitter will
not receive any information about why the bug was closed. [2]
Please use nnn-d...@bugs.debian.org instead.
Similarly, the undocumented command 'bts close' should be dropped.
