They have never been on releases.u.c.; they were mentioned there, but
they pointed to cdimage.u.c., so I do not think that this is a
concern.

Canonical never supported Xubuntu anyway. (That means commercial
'phoning/install/help' support, not security.)

In fact, many packages in main are not supported by Canonical in this
