Public bug reported:
In ubuntu 18.04 with FIPS (via fips or fips-updates stream), ubuntu-
support-status marks the FIPS packages as unsupported. As these packages
are used by customers that require support, this message is confusing
for existing as well as prospectives that test our product.
```
$ sudo ua status
...
fips yes n/a NIST-certified core packages
fips-updates yes enabled NIST-certified core packages with priority
security updates
```
```
$ sudo ubuntu-support-status
