Well, as Martijn said:

When you're uploading - you're only uploading to one distribution - which
is shown in the changelog entry.

For Example, lets Say Bug 2001 Appears in Debian, Ubuntu And Foo (Upstream)

Now, uploading to dapper, you're closing bug malone 2001 - surely soyuz
will only Close the bug in Ubuntu - as well - you're not making an upload
to Debian are you, and you're not releasing a new Upstream Package (ok, in
the case of debian native packages, you might be - but thats a small use-case)

So Closing only the bug in the distribution you're uploading to makes
sense. You should change the other things when they're either uploaded to
debian, or a new upstream tarball is released.

In Reference to Mark's post about instructions to Launchpad in the
Changelog.... I personally don't think this is a good idea... as surely it
isn't something that should be in a changelog?

And - all I think you can do in debian with the changelog is close/mark
bugs fixed (for NMU uploads)
