Please note that above bug reference is ignored by automating tools.

To be machine recognized, it need to be in one of the following forms:

    Closes: #601507

    Closes: bug#601507

Personally I prefer to include the optional "bug" part, to ease human 
readability, and only when listing multiple bugs use the shorter form 
for the remaining ones.

Also, I have found it more pleasing to the eye to use newline instead of 
paranthesis.

And (not relevant here, just mentioning fo completenes sake) I try to 
remember thanking the (primary) contributor(s) to a bugreport when 
closing - as it cost us so little and may mean a lot especially for new 
contributors to have that little moment of fame.

So all in all, I suggest to use the following form:

  * Add --with-sbindir=/usr/lib/sympa/bin to configure flags.
    Closes: bug#601507.

...and if it was multiple bugs, with others than yourself participating, 
then like this (using the name as written by the author):

  * Add --with-sbindir=/usr/lib/sympa/bin to configure flags.
    Closes: bug#601507, #123456, #321432. Thanks to John "ham" Doe.


Just a suggestion.
