Public bug reported:

Creating a new emulator from Ubuntu SDK is very confusing. As per the
attached screenshot, I have to choose a "channel". The options open to
me are: devel, devel-proposed, bq-stable, bq-rc, rc-proposed, and custom
channel. I do not know what any of these mean. Which is being run on my
Meizu MX-4? Which is being run on my Bq E4.5? The phone does not list
any of these names in System Settings > About this phone, or in System
Settings > About this phone > OS Build Details. The "OS" listed in
"About this phone" is "Ubuntu 15.04 (r3)", which seems to not have
anything to do with any of these channels. How can I create an emulator
which is running the same software as my phone? How can I create an
emulator which is running the same software as a phone that someone who
is not a developer would have? The point of creating an emulator is to
use it to test applications to ensure they will work on phones in the
wild, but I don't know how to set it up so that it is emulating phones
in the wild.
