That's an interesting point, thanks. Currently since our goal is a correct upload, we're not necessarily always doing this and don't have it documented in our process that we should.
However, I'd note that to review an SRU it's important that I review the set of bug links specifically from debian/changelog, rather than the set of bug links in commit messages. As part of the review, it matters if there are typos, missing or extraneous bug links in debian/changelog itself (and I've seen this happen). This could be mitigated by adding a cross-checking of this to my upcoming linting tool.
