Bug Description

I believe software center should show the year in which a package's development was halted.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#software-item-screen>: "a software item screen should contain: ... 16. Text of the form 'Last update: {full date}'."

[This bug report previously also covered showing whether an item is available in your language, which is now covered separately by bug 785061.]
