+ The SRU is a copy of the template from development

+ [Test case]
  1) lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1
  2) grep error /var/lib/lxc/p1/rootfs/var/log/bootstrap.log
  
  Here, 2) shouldn't return the dpkg failure listed above.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Unless people expected their debootstrap to take twice the usual time, I don't see any "regression" possible with just dropping inetutils-ping
