Just a heads-up : our automated checking of "pending patches" relied on the (default) non-human-readable output - which seems to still omit the ESM patches.

Compare:

```
$ sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable
UA Infra: Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) is enabled.

11 updates can be applied immediately.
6 of these updates are UA Infra: ESM security updates.
To see these additional updates run: apt list --upgradable
```

vs

```
$ sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check
11;0
```

I would personally expect to see `11;6` (OS = Xenial with ESM), but I suppose there may be good reasons not to change the default output?
