Version naming

[Philip Muskovac]

Newer versions of apport (the Ubuntu bug reporting application) add a 
release tag to bug reports starting with Lucid Lynx 10.04 as far as I 
know. You'll find these reports tagged with 'lucid'. Older 'karmic' 
'jaunty' etc. tags can be added by bug reporters and triagers to make 
searching easier.
