Well, the versioning in the BTS makes sure this happens -- if you don't ack
the NMU (by including its changelog entry in your own upload), the bugs get
visible again. (This isn't 100% at the moment, since version tracking isn't
enabled in the default display, but this will get fixed at some point -- it's
a pure display issue.)

The other alternative is simply to include an NMU diff as a separate bug when
you NMU (cf. the recent discussion on -devel).

In that case, you're going for yet another major change; I can't really see
what you gain by doing so. I agree with the submitter that using close is the
best solution here (which should be obvious given my recent blog entries :-)
).
