Bug Description

Software center uses two different strings to indicate the version of the software a review refers to.
The first one is: "This versions (version_nr).
The second is: "For version version_nr".

For paid app (and only paid apps), the first version is always used, even for reviews that were written for previous versions. For expample, if you read the reviews for Monster RPG 2 you will see that the first form is used for the current version (1.1.0), but also for previous versions (1.0.0)
