Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-app-install
In <lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/gnome-app-install/main>, some of the package maintainedness strings are inconsistent with each other and with the spec <https:/
First, if Canonical no longer provides updates for an application, g-a-i says "Canonical does no longer provide critical updates" if it is in main, and "Canonical no longer provides updates" if it is in restricted. As defined in the spec, it should use the latter string in both cases.
Second, g-a-i says that "Canonical [no longer provides] updates for <Application Name> (maintenance ended <Month> <Year>). Updates may be available in a newer version of Ubuntu." This is apparently self-contradictory: Canonical both doesn't provide updates, and may provide updates. As defined in the spec, the first sentence should instead be "Canonical no longer provides updates for <Application Name> in Ubuntu <version number>."
