package-supportedness-ui
There are multiple levels of support in the package archive. Packages that are part of ubuntu server are supported for 5 years on LTS releases, packages of ubuntu desktop are supported 3 years for LTS and other packages in main are supported for 18 months on a LTS. This is currently not reflected in the packaging tools UI. We need to rovide a UI that shows what package has what support status.
