Title:
  ubuntu-support-status fails when ddebs.ubuntu.com enabled in sources

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ubuntu-support-status fails for me here like so:

  $ ubuntu-support-status --list
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status", line 133, in <module>
      pkg.name, support_tag)
    File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status", line 49, in get_maintenance_status
      raise Exception("No date tag found")
  $

  Tracking this through the code, the problem is that ddebs.ubuntu.com
  does not include a "Date" field in its Release file.

  Would be good if ubuntu-support-status could handle this more
  gracefully.
