Plenty issues with clean install on Debian 9 (0.7.1) #87

Due to a selfimposed fuckup I had to do a fresh install yesterday. I had several issues with the installer, which I iteratively fixed in a long evening:

[ ] (1) dna-enable_debian_testing_repo makes a faulty apt configuration resulting in failing apt fetches ("404"): If you check http://security.debian.org/dists/ you'll note that testing/updates does not exist on the server, replace that with testing-security.
[ ] (2) (minor) During installation the user is asked wether to keep a modified version of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, or to update to the version from the latest package.
[ ] (3) Installation of postfix / mailutils fails, because on debian9 libmailutils5 must be installed explicitly

[ ] (4) updatedb command not available. Fix: install locate

Now enabling ejabberd...

/root/aenigma/functions: line 1614: updatedb: command not found

[ ] (5) systemd services etcd, patroni would refuse to start, resulting in another installer crash. After a reboot it worked as it should.
- investigating this I noticed that etcd complains in it's logs: embed: serving insecure client requests on 127.0.0.1:2379, this is strongly discouraged!. Didn't investigate if this is a concern.
[ ] (6) (minor) plenty seemingly unnecessary restarts of ejabberd in the last stages of setup (each with 16sec timeout). Suggestion: Just stop ejabberd, make all the config changes with several prompts, and then restart once
[ ] (7) (major) cannot run aenigma-backup, as it looks for a folder structure in /var/lib/ejabberd which is not provisioned..?
[ ] (8) (major) The step after installation of ejabberd installs all debian testing updates, so we now run debian10... This make the installer incompatible with its own actions, making subsequent runs abort. (Faking /etc/os-release makes it work again though).
- subsequently the next step (installation of Converse.js) fails.
- This is pretty much irreversible, right?

i have similar issue, a month ago i tried to install aenigma on a Debian 9 VPS, but finishing the install, the script configure some debian 10 repo and this run the upgrade. As aenigma does not support Debian 10, the install not continue.
