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

[Erick Brunzell]

One thing that jumped out at me on an Lubuntu test tonight was the "will become
available on 2016-07-21" date:

WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement
Stack ended on 2016-08-04:
 * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL

There is a graphics stack installed on this system. An upgrade to a
configuration supported for the full lifetime of the LTS will become
available on 2016-07-21 and can be installed by running 'update-manager'
in the Dash.

I don't know if that's worth changing or not?????

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.
