I usually just include a copy of /etc/system-image/channel.ini or 
system-image-cli -i alongside every test, bug, etc.  Anything 
less usually leads to ambiguity and confusion.

However, most of the details can be derived from knowing the 
device type, channel path, and build number.  For example:

  ubuntu-device-flash flash --revision 40 query --channel ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en --device arale --show-image

The syntax is a little weird, but it's one way to get the 
individual part versions if they weren't supplied.
