[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] tests/docker: update Debian Sid image

[Alex Bennée]

While we are not currently using it we might as well keep the image
for later usage. So:

  - update to a more recent snapshot
  - clean up verbiage in commentary
  - remove duplicate shell from a merge failure

 # Debian Sid Base
 #
-# A number of our guests exist as ports only. We can either use the
-# ports repo or get everything from Sid. However Sid is a rolling
-# distro which may be broken at any particular time. If you are
-# unlucky and try and build your images while gcc is in the process of
-# being uploaded this can fail. Your only recourse is to try again in
-# a few hours when the repos have re-synced. Once built however you
-# won't be affected by repo changes unless the docker recipies are
-# updated and trigger a re-build.
+# Currently we can build all our guests with cross-compilers in the
+# latest Debian release (Buster). However new compilers will first
+# arrive in Sid. However Sid is a rolling distro which may be broken
+# at any particular time. To try and mitigate this we use Debian's
+# snapshot archive which provides a "stable" view of what state Sid
+# was in.
