Many times we see a build job start failing, we wonder if the installed

APT allows you to specify to pin package versions when installing; wouldn't
that help ensure our tests are deterministic?
Even if tests would be more deterministic that way, I also don't think
that's what we want: We would test with backlevel packages that users are
not using (since they'll normally use the latest version of a package from a
certain version of a distro). So in our CI, we would not be able to
reproduce the issues that the users are seeing on their systems.
