From https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python3-pip it seems like pip is pinned at an old version python3-pip (9.0.1-2).

If the current version of pip3 (18.1) were added to the Universe repo, people would not attempt these workarounds that cause problems with apt installed pip3.

pip has some important improvements (changelog here: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/) Pip maintainers have moved to a new numbering scheme mirroring Ubuntuv; so from v9 which is in bionic to v18 now.

We've got python 3.7 in the Universe repo - are there reasons we should not upgrade pip in the source?
