Understood that it's not a regression. I think the current implementation follows logically from the time when we had multiple products in main, via the same seed pod (ubuntu), with different support lengths. But it's surely an oversight that packages seeded in a seed called "supported-foo" are shown as not supported by ubuntu-support-status! A completely correct implementation would have to take into consideration which product each package is "supported" as part of. But for 16.04, since we don't have any products in main with differing support periods, I think it should suffice to slam everything to 5y. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
