As always, let me point out that -- at least according apt -- support is
on a per-package basis.  "supported on the server" means they support
specific packages, not whatever you happen to run on YOUR ubuntu server.

Checking with "grep-aptavail -sSupported -XP foo", some random packages:

The cron job below I created to warn me when stuff gets EOLd by Ubuntu,
but I had to turn it off because it warned about so much stuff:
