Universe bugs in Malone

I'm somewhat confused about reporting bugs in Universe.

I've understood they should be reported using Malone
(https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone) rather than Ubuntu bugzilla,
right?

What happens to bugs in Malone?
Do they get reported upstream (i.e. Debian)?
How do they get closed? (When Debian closes the bug, or when Universe is
synched against Debian?)
Why can't I close a bug I've opened? (I filed bug 1152 before checking
in Breezy, and the issue is solved. I want to save MOTU some work by
closing the bug myself.)

Having two separate bug tracking systems for one distro (even though
Universe/Multiverse has special status) is somewhat confuging.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

In the design of cryptosystems, we must design something *now* for use
in the future. We have only the published facts of the past to stand
against all the secret research of the past and future for as long as
a cipher is used. It is therefore necessary to speculate on future
capabilities. It is *not* acceptable to wait for a published attack
before a weakness is considered in cipher design. It is instead
necessary to try to perceive weaknesses which have not yet contributed
to full attacks, and close them off.
