packages.ubuntu.com select does not show version number in addition to code name

[André R.]

More of an request for improvement then bug, but this has slightly annoyed me for last 15 years of browsing packages.ubuntu.com.

The drop down for selecting "suite", aka version, only include code name and not version name like list to browse packages just above it.

This could easily include version name in format "<codeName> (<versionName>)", and resulting html would look like (in same format as list above it):

Distribution:
<select name="suite">
  <option value="focal" >focal (20.04LTS)</option>
  <option value="focal-updates" >focal-updates</option>
  <option value="focal-backports" >focal-backports</option>

  <option value="jammy" >jammy (22.04LTS)</option>
  <option value="jammy-updates" >jammy-updates</option>
  <option value="jammy-backports" >jammy-backports</option>

  <option value="kinetic" selected="selected">kinetic (22.10)</option>
  <option value="kinetic-updates" >kinetic-updates</option>
  <option value="kinetic-backports" >kinetic-backports</option>

  <option value="lunar" >lunar (23.04)</option>
  <option value="lunar-updates" >lunar-updates</option>
  <option value="lunar-backports" >lunar-backports</option>

  <option value="mantic" >mantic (23.10)</option>
  <option value="mantic-updates" >mantic-updates</option>
  <option value="mantic-backports" >mantic-backports</option>

  <option value="noble" >noble</option>

  <option value="all">any</option>
</select>

This is an interesting suggestion. I am right now unsure how this can be done easily with the current code, but I'll keep it open for reference to come back to.
