Bug Description

ubuntu-support-status fails for me here like so:

$ ubuntu-support-status --list
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status", line 133, in <module>
    pkg.name, support_tag)
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status", line 49, in get_maintenance_status
    raise Exception("No date tag found")
$

Tracking this through the code, the problem is that ddebs.ubuntu.com does not include a "Date" field in its Release file.

Would be good if ubuntu-support-status could handle this more gracefully.

ddebs.ubuntu.com now includes a Date field in the Release file, however ubuntu-support-status likely should raise an Exception here.
