"Untriaged" to "Undecided" rename broke search form URLs

Bug Description

The 2006-09-26 rollout of Malone broke backwards compatibility with its search form. Old queries scattered over the Internet (like the Ubuntu wiki) no longer work.

For instance, a query for untriaged bugs such as:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs?orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.searchtext=&assignee_option=none&field.omit_dupes=on&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_no_package.used=&field.component=1&field.component=6&field.component=2&field.status=Unconfirmed&field.owner=&field.importance=Untriaged&field.component-empty-marker=1&field.assignee=
returns an "Error: Unexpected form data".

It looks like this breakage occurred when we changed the Importance value of "Untriaged" to "Undecided".

It's pretty bad form to break links as there's no good way to hunt them down and fix them. Please add support for the old parameters names as aliases to any new ones, or at the very least, drop deprecated names gracefully.

Thanks!

Sorry, this bug should have been fixed shortly after it was reported (for other status renames we have provided backwords compatibility). Are there any old links out there that makes it worth fixing this bug?

We're seeing some odd OOPSes recently with broken statuses. Check out this report, Bjorn: https://devpad.canonical.com/~andrew/paste/fileBOvqok.html
