Comment 10 for bug 1574670

The issue seems to be, that ubuntu-support-status reads the package information about support timeframe and some maintainers get confused or mix or forget to set the proper timeframe for the LTS releases to 5 years (for the main repo).

On a 16.04 machine it lists python-dbg as unsupported. the reason is its set to 9month support:

> apt show python-dbg

Description: Debugversion des Python-Interpreters (Version 2.7)
 Dieser Python-Interpreter wurde mit --pydebug konfiguriert. Dynamisch
 ladbare Module sucht er zuerst in /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/debug.

So what is the correct path now? file bugs for every Package where the maintainers set the Support timeframe to 9 months?
