[Bug 1892917] Re: update-notifier: adopt renamed esm infra and apps pockets

[Chad Smith]

** Description changed:

+ Placeholder bug for discussion with online-services and amongst the
+ ubuntu server team about viability of this solution.
+ 
  do-release-upgrade only supports apt suite names confirming to the format:
  <release>-(security|upgrades|proposed)
  
- 
  This begs that ESM apt repos are named something like:
- xenial-updates 
+ xenial-updates
  bionic-security
  etc.
  
  instead of:
  bionic-infra-security/
  bionic-infra-updates/
  focal-infra-security/
  focal-infra-updates/
  
- 
- Since update-notifier reports, via motd, the upgradable and security packages available in ESM-* repos we need to cope with this apt suite rename when it happens.
+ Since update-notifier reports, via motd, the upgradable and security
+ packages available in ESM-* repos we need to cope with this apt suite
+ rename when it happens.
  
  This fix will only land in groovy and get SRU'd to Xenial, Bionic and
  Focal once the contract services can support a the standard
  <release>-(security|updates) suite names.
