Previously, the ubuntu provider would drop records where upstream data indicated that a package was not affected by a CVE; however, that leaves downstream consumers unable to distinguish between a search miss (no record of that CVE affecting that package) and a true "not affected" (the vendor examined their code and decided the vulnerability did not apply). Instead, emit a FixedIn record that essentially says, "this was fixed at version 0" in situations where there upstream data indicates something is not affected.
