[eduVPN-deploy] Ubuntu package repository

[François Kooman]

Hi all,

As a follow up, it seems there are some problems with supporting Ubuntu. 
It turns out, LTS does not really mean that the packages we use are 
properly supported!

> $ ubuntu-security-status
> 437 packages installed, of which:
> 411 receive package updates with LTS until 4/2025
>  13 could receive security updates with ESM Apps until 4/2030

So, as it turns out 13 packages are not supported at all now (the 13 
third party packages are related to eduVPN and supported by us), they 
come from universe, but you can buy support for them. It was 
surprisingly hard to list them! [1].

> $ ./pkgs-from.sh universe
> Listing all packages installed from: universe.

> php-psr-log
> php7.4-fpm
> php7.4-mbstring
> pwgen
> qrencode
> Number of packages found from universe category is: 13

It turns out (part of) PHP is *not* supported under LTS and some other 
small tools that don't really matter. This is quite a disappointment! I 
am not sure what to do about this exactly, nor do I know exactly what 
this means... Is there really no support for php-fpm on Ubuntu?

Cheers,
François
