I wish debbugs-gnu did not tag bugs as fixed when it closes them.
This is a misuse of the fixed tag, which should only be applied to open bugs.
The purpose of the fixed tag is:
"This bug is fixed or worked around, but there's still an issue that
needs to be resolved."
A closed bug can by default be assumed to be fixed, so tagging it fixed
is at best redundant, and most likely a nuisance, since if the bug is
later found to still occur you can't just reopen the report, you have to
remember to untag it as well.

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.
