Comment 1 for bug 1574670

Thanks for taking this matter up. Please provide a rewritten tool that does give accurate information....

This issue has already created worries on several Linux fora, as a consequence of this article in a reputable German IT magazine:
http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Ubuntu-LTS-Langzeitpflege-gibt-es-nur-fuer-das-Wichtigste-3179960.html

If German is not your strong point: the article accuses Ubuntu of breaking its LTS promise, mainly on the basis of the output of ubuntu-support-status.

It would help a lot to rebuild confidence in Ubuntu LTS support, if we would have a rewritten tool that does give correct information about the support timespan for the installed packages in Ubuntu.
