[Bug 1822331] Re: autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud no longer works with precise or trusty

it's actually still supported with security maintenance

it actually will continue to be supported for another 3 years of
security maintenance

i do think we need to.  there's really no reason to remove those release
names from the script - they don't hurt anything by being there - and
not having them there makes users of the script hand-edit it to get it
to work with those releases.
