I actually cloned it for tracking the CVE specifically, but TBH and
retrospectively it was probably just "overklill" it is the same fix
for both apsects anywaay.

It is not a problem to close it, the BTS can handle closes in mutliple
versions, and is actually the right thing to do (by mentioning it in
the changes). This is because BTS has the version tracking so knows
which versions are still affected for other suites. That means the
stable and oldstable upload would both contain as well the closes
marker and can close similarly the bug.
