my thirdparty is Google Chrome (which I keep around to test things when
Chromium doesn't work for whatever reason):

user at hostname:~$ ubuntu-security-status
2794 packages installed, of which:
1939 receive package updates with LTS until 4/2025
 849 could receive security updates with ESM Apps until 4/2030
   1 package is from a third party
   5 packages are no longer available for download

Packages from third parties are not provided by the official Ubuntu
archive, for example packages from Personal Package Archives in
Launchpad.
For more information on the packages, run 'ubuntu-security-status
--thirdparty'.

Packages that are not available for download may be left over from a
previous release of Ubuntu, may have been installed directly from a
.deb file, or are from a source which has been disabled.
For more information on the packages, run 'ubuntu-security-status
--unavailable'.

Enable Extended Security Maintenance (ESM Apps) to get 0 security
updates (so far) and enable coverage of 849 packages.

This machine is not attached to an Ubuntu Advantage subscription.
See https://ubuntu.com/advantage
user at hostname:~$ ubuntu-security-status --thirdparty
2794 packages installed, of which:
   1 package is from a third party
google-chrome-stable

Packages from third parties are not provided by the official Ubuntu
archive, for example packages from Personal Package Archives in
Launchpad.

Run 'apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable' to learn more about that
package.
