[Bug 1767319] [NEW] debootstrap on Xenial creates broken install for Bionic related to gnupg1/gnupg2 apt-key dependencies

[Roman Fiedler]

Public bug reported:

"debootstrap bionic" run on Ubuntu Xenial will create a bootstrap
installation missing any gnupg (not gpgv) tools. Thus continuing
installation from the bootstrapped installation using own debian package
archives will fail, as that would require adding of public keys for the
private repository. Due to "apt-key" needing gnupg for internal
operation, adding keys and thus installation will fail.

Reproduce: run debootstrap and check if "apt-key list" works or "gpg" is
installed afterwards.

Expected behaviour: Debootstrap installation can be used as template for
further setup or as LXC guest without additional modifications.

This bug could also be seen as a missing dependency on "apt" package,
but not sure if it was omitted on purpose.
