Bug Description
[Impact]
* Autopkgtest reports failures/
because debian/
since the release of the new stable, Debian buster (July 6th 2019).
* That caused changes to signatures and debootstrap procedures that
Xenial packages currently fail to handle.
* Such failures are false-positives of regressions with regards to
docker.io code *or* it's dependencies, which are thus flagged as
causing a regression to a reverse-dependency on autopkgtest.u.c.
* The solution is to revert to / stick with Debian stretch, which
has been the stable / status-quo before the buster release, and
is working correctly on both debian-
on Xenial.
[Test Case]
* Run docker.io autopkgtests or just 'debian/
[Regression Potential]
* The 'debootstrap' command on 'debian/
now continue to run past an early error, then hit other issues.
At this time, it has been verified to finish sucessfully in the
autopkgtest.
[Other Info]
* Currently only Xenial is being reported/fixed, although this
issue might hit Bionic and Focal in the future (with 2+years
support period, extending over Debian releases) depending on
whether further changes might be needed post-Buster release.
* Debian's docker.io package only exists on Buster and later,
so are not susceptible to this problem right now.
* Waiting a bit on feedback on Debian bug report / BTS 946313 [1].

[Original Description]
With the release of Debian Buster (July 2019) the 'stable' distribution symlink on Debian archives changed from 'stretch' to 'buster'.
This caused issues to 'debootstrap <variant> stable <target> <debian mirror>' on Xenial:
(because of Xenial's older/pre-Buster debian-
1. failure to check signature of the Release file (which can be worked-around with --no-check-gpg)
2. failure to unpack packages (which may need further changes)
Thus just revert back to / stick with Debian Stretch as the suite to debootstrap for tests.
This should prevent it to keep changing to newer releases, which depend on changes/fixes to other packages (not worth it just for the purpose of running 'true' in a docker container.)
