Indeed, a "fixed" tag doesn't make sense at all. Instead, there is the
"fixed" attribute, which is set either explictly by the "fixed" command,
or implicitly by the "close" command.

I've changed this in debbugs-gnu.el, pushed to the repository. Shall
appear as debbugs 0.28.

Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
