Bug archived on Debian showing as fix released

[shirish]

Hi all,
  From what I understand the Debian BTS closes bug reports when it
fixes a bug. It also does closes the bug when due to inactivity it
doesn't get fixed.  Something similar to what  launchpad janitor tries
to do. Now this gives wrong impressions for both times it shows as the
fix being released (on launchpad) when it is not so.

For e.g. look at this bug report on debian
