Bug Description

Some libpcre* packages from 16.04 have the wrong support timeframe set into the package info. Therefore they are falsely shown as unsupported on the "ubuntu-support-status" output:

~$ apt show libpcre3-dbg
Package: libpcre3-dbg
Version: 2:8.38-3.1
Priority: optional
Section: libdevel

Description: Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - debug symbols
 Dies ist eine Bibliothek von Funktionen zur Unterstützung von regulären
 Ausdrücken, deren Syntax und Semantik so ähnlich wie möglich zu denen der
 Sprache Perl 5 sind.
 .
 This package contains the debug symbols,

This should be set to the 5years LTS timeframe (since its in main) and not to 9months.
