Title:
  python-dbg and other python packages in xenial got wrong timeframe set
  for support time

Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The python* 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 python-dbg
  Package: python-dbg
  Version: 2.7.11-1
  Priority: extra
  Section: python
  Source: python-defaults

  Description: Debugversion des Python-Interpreters (Version 2.7)
   Dieser Python-Interpreter wurde mit --pydebug konfiguriert. Dynamisch
   ladbare Module sucht er zuerst in /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/debug.

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