Thanks for the bug report, I don't think we have enough resources at the
moment to work on creating an upstream version without the Ubuntu
specific services, though technically livepatch should be only showing
on systems where the service is available so it should work as expected
on Debian?

Title:
  Create Upstream Repo

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I started investigating this due to software-properties in Debian
  being listed as under-maintained per https://mako.cc/copyrighteous
  /identifying-underproduced-software

  AFAICT the source of truth for this package is in the current Ubuntu
  packages.  Would it be possible to make a real upstream repo that both
  Debian and Ubuntu can eventually pull from?

  Today, the Debian package has no updates for a while and I get that
  many of the additions are for Livepatch/other ubuntu specific things.
  If it's better for software-properties in Debian to just become it's
  own thing, that's a path too.
