It's actually simpler than that:
Before release - code name
After release - release number
Today the current release is Ubuntu 9.10. We are developing Lucid Lynx, which
will become Ubuntu 10.04 at release.
Since the release is date based, it's number can't be set in stone too far in
advance (6.06 was originally expected to be 6.04).
