[Bug 1752379] [NEW] ubuntu-support-status could more clearly define unsupported

[Nish Aravamudan]

Public bug reported:

Related to LP: #1574670, which has cleaned up the output significantly.

The 'unsupported' status does not mean you won't get support at all
(that is, please still file bugs, and possibly someone will work on it).
Right now it reads like those packages are abandoned in Ubuntu (IMO).

These are packages in universe without any teams signed up to support
them. They are still maintained, though.

** Summary changed:
