Title:
  u-a-t fails when distro-info is installed from backports on Xenial

  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-advantage-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in distro-info source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
  See comment #5 for full context.

  tl;dr the distro-info package in xenial-backports is (obvisouly)
  higher than the version in xenial/xenial-updates, but it does not
  bring the --supported-esm option, on which we rely.
