Bug Description

Lucid's correct name is 10.04 LTS. Launchpad uses the version as the release name, Launchpad requires that series versions
be debian version numbers. The "LTS" designation cannot be added.

Two solutions come to mind:

1. Change the the db schema constraint and validator to support "LTS"
    But the field is intended to be URL safe, and this is not.

2. Change the db schema and add an is_lts attribute on the series model
    Since series.versioned_name is always used as the series, name, that
    is the only attribute that needs revising to use is_lts

Unless we want conditional code elsewhere for the LTS element, I'd allow the display name to be set to contain LTS. The long name doesn't have to be urlsafe (the 'name' does, but that is 'precise' not 11.10 or anything.

Changed in launchpad:
importance: High → Low
