Bug description:
  ubuntu-support-status returns inaccurate and misleading information.

  It uses the Supported field in the Packages file which hasn't been
  used or updated since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and earlier releases when we
  had a 3 year/5 year support split between desktop and server. (See
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Official%20Support)

  It also uses the term "unsupported" instead of "community-supported"
  which doesn't accurately portray the status of universe packages.

  This tool should be rewritten to return more accurate results, or
  simply removed completely.
