In PPA's interface, please add Ubuntu version numbers (not just code names)

[David D Lowe]

Here's an example page representing a PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Under the title "Overview of published packages", next to the label "Published in:", there is a select box, with the default value "Any series". These are the displayed options of that select box:

Impish
Hirsute
Focal
Xenial
Wily
Vivid
Utopic
Trusty
Saucy
Raring
Quantal
Precise
Oneiric
Natty
Maverick
Lucid
Karmic
Jaunty
Intrepid
Hardy
Gutsy

This is quite hard to use. I want to check to see if this PPA includes packages for Ubuntu 23.10. I can't remember of the top of my head the codename for that release of Ubuntu.

I propose that the select box displays these values instead:

21.10 Impish
21.04 Hirsute
20.04 LTS Focal
16.04 LTS Xenial
15.10 Wily
15.04 Vivid
14.10 Utopic
14.04 LTS Trusty
13.10 Saucy
13.04 Raring
12.10 Quantal
12.04 LTS Precise
11.10 Oneiric
11.04 Natty
10.10 Maverick
10.04 LTS Lucid
9.10 Karmic
9.04 Jaunty
8.10 Intrepid
8.04 LTS Hardy
7.10 Gutsy

Isn't that much easier to handle?
