It'd be best if you did not use the bug's title for inserting
information like "[Maverick A1]" as this used by Launchpad's duplicate
finding feature and will likely create false positives. Instead I'd tag
the bug maverick, which would be done automatically if you report it
with apport, and only include the image information (in the description)
if it may be specific to that ISO and not the release as a whole.
