It was a combination of changing the subject plus cc'ing bug-automake.
bug-automake is basically an alias for submit <at> debbugs now.
Anything sent there that is not "obviously" replying to an existing
report creates a new bug.

There is no need to cc bug-automake on replies to reports; ###@debbugs
can be thought of as an alias for that. The only time to use the
bug-automake address now is in new bug reports. Sending to both just
creates duplicates.

The (first) close didn't work, I think it was because your version
number started with a `v', not a digit. The second close worked.
