Title:
  Warn people when they install outdated version of Ubuntu

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I support quite a lot at the german loko ubuntuusers.de. I often
  notice that novice Ubuntu users install outdated versions of Ubuntu.
  Right now someone installed Ubuntu Breezy and wondered why he was not
  able to install any software etc... Those people don't do this by
  purpose, they install whatever version of Ubuntu they find out of lack
  of information.

  Would it be possible to add a warning to ubiquity, so that when a user
  installs an outdated version he gets the information that

   * He is installing an outdated version
   * That the support for his version will end in only X months OR that the the support ended and that he won't get any updates nor will he be able to install additional software
   * That he should either install the current LTS or the current version of Ubuntu

  This way people will be better informed and save time.
