To say the truth I don't think this is a real problem. The Ubuntu
version is, speaking about your example, 9.10 while its codename is
Karmic Koala. It's a sort of Ubuntu tradition. 
A typical user should only knows Ubuntu version (in fact from Ubuntu
home page you can see that you may download ubuntu 9.10 not Ubuntu
Karmic Koala).
