Bug Description

The current ubuntu bug pages show the current published when you mouseover the package name in the tasks table. That's really not obvious that you can do that and having only the current version is usually not enough

Some usecase examples:
- somebody adds a comment saying that the bug is fixed in version N and you want to know what ubuntu version have this version.
- an user says he's run the software version N and you want to know what ubuntu version he's using
- reading a stable update bug you want to know if the update already moved to the official -updates

Having the published version summary on the bug page would be clearer and make job easier in the listed cases and probably some others

So the problem here is that there are many relevant contexts. We could look at having a details expander for each bugtask row, which for source packages would show publication info.
