Public bug reported:

When bug #1000605 was fixed libterm-readkey-perl was added as a
dependency of mysql-client-5.5 in Precise. mysql-client-5.5 has 5 years
of support but this dependency doesn't according to output of apt-cache
show libterm-readkey-perl:

Package: libterm-readkey-perl
Priority: optional
Section: perl
...
Supported: 18m

I expect this to reflect 5 years support as it's a dependency of a
package which is supported for that long.

I'm guessing this is due to the fact that it was only added as a
dependency after Precise was released, and this hasn't flowed back to
the Packages file for whatever reason (I didn't get that far).

Apologies if this isn't the right package to file against; I couldn't
see anything more appropriate.
