** Description changed:
[Impact]
- ubuntu-distro-info is an important source of information about the current
support state of the various Ubuntu releases. Currently, however, it provides
no information about the status of Extended Security Maintenance for Ubuntu
releases, which is an important aspect of Ubuntu "support".

[Test Case]
- 1) Run ubuntu-distro-info --help and observer there is no mention of ESM

+ 1. Run ubuntu-distro-info --help and observer there is no mention of ESM
With the version from -proposed there will be a switch to filter on ESM
supported releases e.g. 'ubuntu-distro-info --supported-esm' and it'll
be possible to show the number of days until the end of ESM ('ubuntu-
distro-info --days=eol-esm --supported-esm -f). So the test case is
really to make sure that those new filters work.
[Regression Potential]
- If the relationship between the packages isn't right then they will not be
upgraded together and we could end up in a situation where distro-info is
unusable because it doesn't recognize the number of columns in ubuntu.csv. So
try and only upgrade distro-info-data and if that works then there will be a
regression which is bad!
- [Original Description or some portion of it]
- (If we already had concrete ESM information in this package, it could have
served to clear up the recent confusion about bionic's "10 years of support".)
