I guess Scott is referring to maintenance-check. It's functions have
been integrated into apt-cache as shown above, so it's deprecated and
was not providing anything more than information.

Sincerely, I think that if you only pick packages that are in main which
are not desktop related (non gui) you should be fine and you can easily
check that you are ok looping "dpkg -l" through "apt-cache show $xx" and
checking the results. Wouldn't you?

Nick,

One question: all packages in main repository have 5y support?? or exists packages
with only 3y support??

Thanks.

Main (for LTS) contains packages that have:
- 5y support coming from the server seeds
- 3y support coming from the desktop seeds
- 18mo support coming from other seeds

More details on seeds, can be found at [1] and maintenance period is
described at [2].
