Thanks. I might grab that for this type of test in the future, then.

It's good to see that it will list the package names when the
command-line option is used.

I'm curious what kind of result will be given once support for some
provided packages comes to an end. That was detailed nicely in the
ubuntu-support-status command's results with the --show-all option
and I wonder if they'll be adding that to this command as well or
whether it will pop up some sort of helpful information on how to get
such a listing when the time comes.
