[Bug 1574193] Please test proposed package

[Brian Murray]

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:0.156.14.20 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Run ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported and observe the count of unsupported packages and the count of packages supported until some future date.
  2) Travel to the future and overshoot by a month.
  3) Run ubuntu-support-status --unsupported and observe the unsupported count has not changed.

  With the version of the package from -proposed the count in step 3
  should be incremented by the quantity of packages supported until that
  future date e.g. if you have 8 unsupported and 8 packages supported
  until (1/2017) with the proposed version you should have 16
  unsupported in (2/2017).

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  A return was missing say that packages were unsupported, so very very little.

  Original Report
  ---------------
  Please see the screen dump below. It contains a section "Supported until February 2015 (9m):", but it is April 2016, so the packages should NOT appear in the --show-supported list, and it should NOT be introduced with "Supported..." because the packages listed below that banner line are UNsupported.
