To fix the bug search behaviour, Launchpad MUST add the tag '9.10' when 
words like Karmic Koala are in the bug reporting or maybe include a 
field in wich the user selects the version.

Maybe only append a '9.10' tag when 'karmic' or 'koala' are set.

For the animal, it's not a good decission to delete it... keeping the 
animal with the adjetive is a good source of inspiration for artists and 
the comunity.
