Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 gk]:
 > What happens inside the containers if we are installing, say, build
 dependencies? Are we good here? I guess I was wondering about the `apt-
 get` calls in `container-image/config`.

 After checking, debootstrap is not installing packages from
 security.debian.org. So we are using a vulnerable apt version in
 `container-image/config`.

 I think we can fix that by manually installing new apt packages inside the
 chroots after creating them with debootstrap in `projects/debootstrap-
 image/config`. I will work on a new version of the patch doing that.
