Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
Apt-venv has a deprecated list of Ubuntu versions.
Therefore when we use apt-venv with one of the deactivated versions (lucid - precise - utopic) of Ubuntu, we get an error, see the examples below:
# apt-venv lucid -c "apt-get update"

Only the 'trusty' version is with the link that works, but soon it should be turned off too.
The fix is very simple, just change the name of the Ubuntu releases to the new ones and add their respective public keys, to be able to use apt-venv with the latest releases of Ubuntu.
Regards,
Braulio
