Public bug reported:

Originally reported here: https://github.com/deadsnakes/issues/issues/97

I'm also surprised to see a package added to LTS so late in the game, is
there a change in policy around new packages / feature bumps that I
missed?

Here's a reproduction using docker:

```
FROM ubuntu:bionic
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -yq python3.8-venv
RUN python3.8 -m venv /venv
```

```
Step 3/3 : RUN python3.8 -m venv /venv
 ---> Running in 41a792e03c49
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: ['/venv/bin/python3.8', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--
upgrade', '--default-pip']

The command '/bin/sh -c python3.8 -m venv /venv' returned a non-zero code: 1
```

The inner (hidden) error:

```
root@f806220c24ec:/# python3.8 -mvenv /venv
