Bug Description
Hi,
system-image-dbus reports the build number from the contents of /etc/ubuntu-build which is a meaningless counter incremented from zero at the beginning of the month.
(I hate this id BTW :-)
The DBus API should report something more meaningful, perhaps the date of /etc/ubuntu-build or the contents of some other file.
Cheers,

I can't really think of anything better, except that I want to keep the general approach, which is to say, the local identifier should come from a file laid down by a package, and the target identifier should come from the server.
Build numbers are rarely human friendly. ;)
