Situation is unfortunate and upstream does not care enough. They probably
want Docker users to use Docker exclusively without any other software on the
host. I very much dislike this approach but that's Docker for you... :(
About 6 months ago I've moved all my application containers from Docker to
"rkt" and I couldn't be happier. Although still immature, in the future
libpod/podman will likely become a worthy Docker successor.

I'm lowering severity back to "important". You are not wrong that Docker is
hostile to other applications but I think many users would agree that we need
Docker in "testing" and upcoming Debian release despite of this problem.
