[Bug 887079] [NEW] Software Sources shows codenames not version numbers

[Alan Pope]

Public bug reported:

In the updates tab software-properties shows codenames such as 'oneiric-
updates' and 'oneiric-proposed'. As I understand it we shouldn't really
show the codename to the user. It also seems somewhat redundant, it's
not like that screen would ever have anything other than
$current_release-* in it. I can see why the 3rd party sources might
display codenames as users may (for whatever reason) want to add the
source for an older (or newer) release on a 3rd party site to get an
app.

See screenshot.
