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.

Code names are actually part of repositories URLs, and I don't know any reason to use version numbers instead (changing thing if such a level would require a lot of infrastructure changes).
