Public bug reported:

Currently, the Information() D-Bus method provides the following
something like:

current_build_number"="129"
device_name"="generic_amd64"
target_build_number"="131"
version_detail"="ubuntu=20141205.1,raw-device=20141205.1,version=129"
channel_name"="ubuntu-core/devel"
last_update_date"="2014-12-05 05:26:42"
last_check_date"="2014-12-05 15:41:43"

Ideally, it would also provide "version_detail" for the latest revision
on the server, that is version_detail for target_build_number.

Even more ideally, it would break version_detail into chunks. Something
like:

current_ubuntu_version=ubuntu=20141205.1
current_raw_device_version=20141205.1

... and for the latest revision found on the server, something like:

target_ubuntu_version=ubuntu=20141205.9
target_raw_device_version=20141205.2

For bonus points, this information would also be available via 'system-
image-cli -i', maybe requiring an addition option like '--full' to avoid
breaking existing consumers of 'system-image-cli -i' output.

Note that the command-line accessibility is potentially more important
than the D-Bus interface due to the fact that system-image-cli -i
provides the '-C' option to point it at an alternative installation.
