This is not about bug closing but about the changelog as actually present in 
the package. You can review it here:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/current/changelog

As you can see the version 10.1 that did exist at one time is missing from the 
changelog: it skips from 0.9.8g-10 to 0.9.8g-11, and the one added in the NMU 
has gone missing.

Because 10.1 is missing the BTS now thinks that such a version has never 
existed in unstable. Please add the missing entry back in the changelog of 
the package.


cheers,
Thijs
