Getting Podman 2.0 into ubuntu

[Reinhard Tartler]

My attempt at merging the docker.io package can be found in my ppa here:
https://launchpad.net/~siretart/+archive/ubuntu/podman/+packages

it at least builds on my laptop in a clean groovy chroot.

Let me know what you think. Is this "good enough" for groovy? - Did I miss
important changes?
