Should Ubuntu uploads be able to close bugs in projects using changelog-closes-bugs too?

Bug Description
Hi,
I recently had an upload to Ubuntu (hardy) sponsored - https:/
In the changelog I included references to both Ubuntu bugs (which were automatically closed by changelog-
I thought I would post a little bit about the ubuntu-doc project's workflow in order to see whether it is realistic or not to support a bug-closing feature in Launchpad. We house our code on Launchpad and commit fixes via bzr to the branches at https:/
So for us, a bug is "Fix committed" when a fix is committed to our bzr branch in Launchpad (we tend to work in quite a centralised way with all members of the team pushing directly to the series branch), and "Fix released" when a package is uploaded to Ubuntu.
Is there any way that automatic bug fixing can be implemented for this sort of workflow? I assume that any Ubuntu related project which houses its code in Launchpad has a similar workflow, and I imagine that there are quite a few of these. Obviously, other projects have a totally different workflow...

I've thought about this a bit more. I think the proper solution is in fact to provide functionality for projects which are "distro-specific" (such as ubuntu-docs, ubiquity or whatever) to have a unified bug interface. It's pretty cumbersome to have separate bug lists and if the two were more closely linked, that would be a lot easier, and allow the functionality described in the bug report to be easily satisfied.
