Understood that it's not a regression.  I think the current implementation
follows logically from the time when we had multiple products in main, via
the same seed pod (ubuntu), with different support lengths.  But it's surely
an oversight that packages seeded in a seed called "supported-foo" are shown
as not supported by ubuntu-support-status!

A completely correct implementation would have to take into consideration
which product each package is "supported" as part of.  But for 16.04, since
we don't have any products in main with differing support periods, I think
it should suffice to slam everything to 5y.
