 Debian announced yesterday an important security update for apt:
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2019/msg00010.html

 In `projects/debootstrap-image` we are downloading an Ubuntu 18.04.1
 image, and doing an `apt-get update -y` in it before installing some
 packages using an affected apt version.

 To avoid this we could download updated apt packages and install them
 using `dpkg -i`.

 We should also check if the use of debootstrap is affected by the issue.
