Are you planning to update to handle Ubuntu xenial and bionic? It would be beneficial to have it available to those doing new custom OS's

Hello, I included a few changes for "bionic" (18.04) and "disco" (19.04) support, back in june. I remember there were a few warnings remaining, but it seemed to work. Did you try and found problems with these versions? If yes, please let me know. Ubuntu xenial is version 16.04 (that is april 2016), it is quite old already. Since april 2018 we have Ubuntu 18.04 with is LTS too (Long-Term-Support), and Ubuntu 20.04 should be available in april of this year, LTS too. Given the time I have to work on it, I cannot maintain support for many years for such an old version, so I cannot guarantee that current debootstick code still works well with it. However, if you give me some information about the failures you have, I can check it and let you know if a quick fix can be done easily. Thanks Etienne
