That is right. He's saying this

 * Ubuntu has 1.0-1
 * Debian uploads 1.0-2 which closes some LP bugs
 * Ubuntu then uploads a new version 2.0-0ubuntu1 without syncing 1.0-2
 * Debian uploads 2.0.0-1 which we sync

LP bugs closed in 1.0-2 are then not closed because we only consider the
changelog for versions greater than 2.0-0ubuntu1.

I don't think this is a problem. It's not a regression from what we have
now.

Cheers,

Iain
