Public bug reported:

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.)
