It might also be worth considering what users already use to monitor
their machines for updates, and to provide alerts by patching those
mechanisms. For example, we might SRU a patch to the check_apt nagios
plugin to pick up the EOL kernel state and present it as a warning or
failure.
What other mechanisms are in use today?

Bug description:
We need to have some mechanism to allow us to record that you have an
EOL kernel installed which will no longer recieve updates.
For example for the kernel when a kernel is going EOL the last upload
should include an appropriate file:
/var/lib/update-notifier/kernel-eol
We need to coordinate this with the notifier itself to ensure it is
displayed.
