[Bug 887079] Re: Software Sources shows codenames not version numbers

[haydoni]

@Dmitry "Being part of the repository URL" is no reason to display it
within the software sources GUI, else the entire URL should be
displayed.

No additional value is given to "Important security updates" by the
addition of "(oneric-security)", it's completely redundant.

Title:
  Software Sources shows codenames not version numbers

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  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.
