Interesting. It looks like you're right. It's been removed. I found
this page about that:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1233412/ubuntu-support-status-script-no-longer-available-in-ubuntu-20-04

According to that page, you can now use this command, which just
gives a summary, but no details:

ubuntu-security-status

There's no man page for that command, but running it with the --help
option shows a brief list of command line options that can be used
with it. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to get a list
of package names with this new command.

There's also a Debian package, mentioned at the bottom of the URL
above, that can be installed to get the ubuntu-support-status command
back, but since the Ubuntu developers felt it shouldn't be included
in the 20.04 release, it's probably not a good idea to use it for
keeping an eye on packages that will be receiving updates.
