Bug Description
A few packages in the 14.04 release pocket are in Ubuntu main, but on have '9m' in the Supported field:
cliff-tablib
libjs-jquery-
libjs-jquery-
libnss3-tools
libpcrecpp0
libsysfs2
libtsan0
libunwind8
python-d2to1
python-tablib
This appears inconsistent with the 5yr support policy.

As far as I know, we don't guarantee that everything in main has five-year support, only what's needed for desktop and server. The answer to this question has historically depended on whom you ask, unfortunately.
Some parts of this are uncontroversial bugs, though. libunwind8 is in the server support chain on amd64 but not on i386. ubuntu- archive- publishing currently looks at germinate output on people. canonical. com which is intended only for informational use and which is only generated for i386. This is clearly wrong - it should use per-architecture germinate output instead.
