Title:
  xenial: debian/tests/basic-smoke fails to debootstrap stable since the
  release of buster

Status in docker.io package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Autopkgtest reports failures/regressions for docker.io on Xenial
     because debian/tests/basic-smoke fails to deboostrap Debian stable,
     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-archive-keyring/debootstrap
     on Xenial.

  [Test Case]

   * Run docker.io autopkgtests or just 'debian/tests/basic-smoke'.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The 'debootstrap' command on 'debian/tests/basic-smoke' should
     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.ubuntu.com infrastructure, tested against a PPA.

  [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-archive-keyring and debootstrap packages)
  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.)
