Instead you send a mail to 564955-d...@bugs.debian.org and you put a "Version: 1.15.8" pseudo-header as the first line of your mail. Otherwise the bug submitter doesn't receive any explanation about the bug closure. And in this particular case, you made a mistake. While the original bug reporter complained of the update-alternatives logging in /var/log/dpkg.log, it's pretty clear that he doesn't want any logging at all... so that's why Guillem retitled the bug report into "u-a: Provide a way to disable logging". And this doesn't exist yet (at least not system-wide) because update-alternatives will always write to /var/log/update-alternatives.log and there's no way to disable that. If you're not sure whether or not a bug can be closed, feel free to just send a mail explaining the reasons why you believe that a bug can be closed. If I agree with your reasoning, I'll close it, otherwise I'll explain you why it should be kept open. Thanks for your help in bug triaging!
