Bug Description

When a user runs oneiric and opens e.g. gimp in software-center there are no reviews currently. The reaons is that software-center sends "distroseries=oneiric" to the server.

With no results (or very few) software-center (the client) should fallback to the previous distro series that have reviews. For that it would need to have information what distro series have reviews. Having a API for this would be good (or including it in the get-reviews call as a additional "hint"), I can hardcode it for now in the client to fallback to naty.
