When dpkg generates changes files for packages it ends up duplicating bug 
numbers in the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed field.  For example consider the following 
from https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/2010-January/012162.html:

Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed: 292256 366682 435352 460664 481765 488274 494045 494461

This isn't a very green solution and wastes lots of pixels and bits.  While the 
example above shows the problem with "Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed:" the same is also 
true of "Closes:" for Debian bug reports. 

Here's a "Closes:" example:

Closes: 654 987 987
Changes:
 bughugger (10.02.1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
 .
   * The fix that saved the world (LP: #123, #123, #2456, #123)
     (Closes: #987, 654, 987)
