[Bug 1752380] Re: ubuntu-support-status: emit source of packages

[Marc Deslauriers]

For third-party installs, we probably don't have the support status
information, so we probably should say something like "Support unknown
(Third party package)" or something similar.

Title:
  ubuntu-support-status: emit source of packages

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It would be really helpful if we could see the source of packages
  (e.g, for 3rd party repositories).

  10:01 < xnox> nacc, the distinction of source of instalation, would be nice. 
                cause e.g. google-chrome package installed form dl.google.com 
                repository is clearly supported .... (by Google)

  10:05 < TJ-> There's a relatively simple change to the tool which could clarify 
               things enormounsly. When using --show-unsupprted and lumping all 
               Ubuntu and 3rd party packages in one list, separate those out with 
               different headers so instead of "Unsupported:" there is 
               "Unsupported (Ubuntu universe/multiverse):" and "Unsupported 
               (Third party installs):"
