The supported field for Yakkety is correct, so I'm setting that task to
Fix Released.
bdmurray at bizarro:~$ zgrep Supported: /mnt/storage/archive-mirror/dists/yakkety/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | sort | uniq -c
7414 Supported: 9m
bdmurray at bizarro:~$ zgrep -c ^Package: /mnt/storage/archive-mirror/dists/yakkety/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
7414

Bug description:
ubuntu-support-status returns inaccurate and misleading information.
It uses the Supported field in the Packages file which hasn't been
used or updated since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and earlier releases when we
had a 3 year/5 year support split between desktop and server. (See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Official%20Support)
It also uses the term "unsupported" instead of "community-supported"
which doesn't accurately portray the status of universe packages.
This tool should be rewritten to return more accurate results, or
simply removed completely.
