[Bug 1498059] Re: hwe-support-status should be included in newer releases

[Brian Murray]

To test this I enabled proposed on a Trusty system with the vivid HWE
stack installed, and installed python3-update-manager, update-manager-
core, and update-manager.  I also installed libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-
vivid:i386 and libglapi-mesa-lts-vivid:i386 to test the multiarch issue
we encountered.  Running hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported I did
see i386 packages listed and --show-replacements showed i386 packages.
Additionally, libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial was listed as a
replacement package.

I then installed the -proposed version of update-notifier and update-
notifier-common and when I ssh'ed to my system I received a warning
about my HWE stack being out of date.  Subsequently, I think this is
verified.

Bug description:
  Test Case (for update-notifier)
  -------------------------------
  1) Install an End of Life HWE stack (utopic/vivid/wily)
  2) Install the version of update-notifier and update-manager from Trusty -proposed
  3) Force an motd update via 'sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-hwe-eol'
  4) Observe a message regarding your HWE stack being End of Life.
  5) ssh localhost - confirm same HWE EoL message appears

  
  Right now hwe-support-status is only in 12.04.  14.04 users might want that information for their release as well.

  Alternatively the functionality could be merged into ubuntu-support-
  status.
