 fix https-everywhere project to handle buster. I also still need to get
 the sha checks but thought I would put it out for review of what I have so
 I can go ahead and make any changes and to make sure this is the approach
 everyone agrees on.

 I think you get this error when building any debootstrap image that is not
 buster. In this case https-everywhere is using stretch.

 The issue is that in `projects/debootstrap-image/config` you are trying to
 install some downloaded apt packages, which doesn't work since those
 packages are for an Ubuntu release older than the one we now use. Since
 we're using Ubuntu 19.10 now, there is no need to install specific apt
 packages.
