Bug Description

At least the meaning of "Opinion" seems to be badly translated. It is translated as "confirmed", but it seems to be better approximated by "invalid".

* Research the meaning of the bug status values in Launchpad, adapt the status conversion table of ``LaunchpadController``.

* Research status: "Unknown"
  Is this really a status? Should it be dropped from the conversion algorithm?
  See: https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html#bug_task

* Research status: "Incomplete (with response)", "Incomplete (without response)"
  Are thes distinct statuses? Does
        ``self.project.searchTasks(status=["Incomplete"])``
  find those, or must they be explicitly included?

* Write tests for the status conversion, and the back-and-forth conversion stability.
  Also look at Trac's table. There also seem to be oddities.

* Especially see that the back and forth conversions don't lead to oscillations.
