[Bug 1633569] [NEW] ubuntu-support-status on 14.04 says -lts-xenial stack is unsupported

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

I ran ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported on an Ubuntu 14.04 with
the -lts-xenial stack installed and was told that those packages were
unsupported.

bdmurray at clean-trusty-amd64:~$ ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported
