[Bug 1989959] Re: Incorrect ESM coverage information

[vofka]

Why do you count packages in the "universe"? I thought that the Ubuntu security team does not support them. https://ubuntu.com/16-04 says nothing about ESM coverage of packages in the "universe", and this does not imply such coverage. Also see comments in sources.list (APT) for the "universe":
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.

Title:
  Incorrect ESM coverage information

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Software Properties says that Extended Security Maintenance provides
  security updates for over 30000 Ubuntu packages, see lines 1269 and
  1346 in data/gtkbuilder/main.ui.

  According to https://ubuntu.com/16-04, Canonical provides extended
  security maintenance for binary packages that reside in the "main"
  Ubuntu repository, which contains about 7000 architecture-specific
  packages depending on the Ubuntu release. Moreover, ESM is only
  provided for a part of packages, not for all packages in the "main"
  repository.
