I guess this is because I explicitly enter "jaunty" in the changelog
file of the .deb package when I upload it to Launchpad to build it. I
looked around in the Launchpad Q&A section and found this:

https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/50883

It seems that we will have to submit a separate source package for
"karmic", where the only difference would be in the changelog file. This
seems very inefficient for me, but apparently we don't have a better
solution right now. Things will get even more complicated when Lucid
Lynx will be released as we will have to submit packages for three
different Ubuntu series :(
