Lucid desktop packages are EOL'd. You should be planning an upgrade path.
At least there's 5-year lifetimes for the desktop LTS releases.
Actually no. As my script hopefully shows, most of your desktop packages only receive 18mo support. My impression is that only packages on the GUI install CD count are marked as Support: 3y and only the packages on the server install CD are marked as Support: 5y.
Lucid was 10.04, and 3y desktop support; Precise (12.04) came with 5y desktop support. Would be interesting to hear what the results of your script are on the 12.04 release? Although with 14.04 LTS due in six months, I'd suggest waiting for that rather than locking into 12.04 now for five years.
