Title:
  some libpcre3* packages have from support timeframe set for xenial LTS

Status in pcre3 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Some libpcre* packages from 16.04 have the wrong support timeframe set
  into the package info. Therefore they are falsely shown as unsupported
  on the "ubuntu-support-status" output:

  
  ~$ apt show libpcre3-dbg

  Description: Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - debug symbols
   Dies ist eine Bibliothek von Funktionen zur Unterstützung von regulären
   Ausdrücken, deren Syntax und Semantik so ähnlich wie möglich zu denen der
   Sprache Perl 5 sind.
   .
   This package contains the debug symbols,

  
  This should be set to the 5years LTS timeframe (since its in main) and not to 9months.
