** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  In order to follow our policy on keeping the container stack (docker.io,
  containerd, and runc) up-to-date in our supported releases, let's
  backport the stack in Impish to Hirsute, Focal, and Bionic.
  
  It is also important because the new releases contain some CVE fixes.
+ 
+ The backport of the stack will also fix the following bug:
+ 
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1943049
+ 
+ Which is an issue when people are running containers with ubuntu:impish
+ image.
  
  [Test Plan]
  
  Per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DockerUpdates, our test case is the
  autopkgtests
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  
  As usual, we deliver most benefit to our users by delivering an upstream
  experience. A risk of regressions is part of that.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ In order to backport docker.io/20.10.7-0ubuntu4 to Bionic, a new runtime
+ dependency (golang-github-ishidawataru-sctp-dev) is needed because its a
+ new dependency of golang-github-docker-docker-dev binary package, and it
+ is not available in Bionic. We have two options here:
+ 
+ 1) Add golang-github-ishidawataru-sctp to Bionic. This is the best
+ solution IMO, the package builds fine in Bionic (just need to downgrade
+ debhelper from 12 to 11), there is no impact in the packages in the
+ archive, and it will facilitate the future maintenance when we need to
+ backport newer versions).
+ 
+ 2) Roll back the changes introduced in docker.io/20.10.7-0ubuntu2. This
+ would not compromise the quality of docker itself in Bionic because
+ those changes were introduced to properly ship libnetwork component in
+ the library package but it was only needed now in Impish due to the
+ update of others golang packages. However, we would need to keep
+ applying this change (the rollback) every time we need to backport a
+ newer version of docker.io.
+ 
+ Due to the considerations made above I'd prefer to pick 1).
