There isn't.  Do keep in mind that "Support" in this context is commercial 
support provided by Canonical under their standard support contracts.  The 
rest of this distro is not "Unsupported".  It is supported by the Ubuntu 
community.  Other companies may provide commercial support on other terms.  
I've not looked into it.

The first thing to do if you want to enure you only have packages that are 
commercially supported by Canonical is to disable the Universe and 
Multiverse repositories.  Those are not commercially supported by Canonical 
at any time.
