Historically, we have taken the position on the SRU team that SRUs which are
still in progress when a release goes EOL are not deleted; the rationale
being that if the package builds more than one binary, and some user has
installed one or more of those binaries from -proposed, on balance, it is
better UX for them to be able to apt install other binaries (from the
-proposed pocket of an EOL release) than to be given an error about
unsatisfiable dependencies.

This is a marginal case, but OTOH why should this have any impact on snap
builds?   Snaps shouldn't be building against -proposed, with or without pro
enabled, should they?

Anyway, the secureboot-db case is straightforward enough since there's only
one binary package, so I've gone ahead and removed them.  With the kernels,
I'm doubly confused as to how this actually matters - haven't all of these
kernels had superseding versions in the ESM archive for pro?
