This bug is a Archive Admin review request for forking containerd-app
into a new containerd-stable source package as per
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze_for_new_packages.

For the upload, the changes in the new package will consist of
- Changing the source package name to containerd-stable
- changing the only binary package shipped in the new forked package from containerd to containerd-stable
- adding "Conflicts: containerd", "Replaces: containerd", and "Provides: containerd" relations in containerd-stable (the Conflics and Replaces will also be added to containerd-app)

Motivation:

The containerd-app package is under the container stack update exception
(https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/exception-
Docker-Updates/).

We want to have two separate packages for containerd: one which will
remain stable (no API/ABI breakage) and one which will keep receiving
the latest upstream updates following the exception mentioned above.

In this first moment, both packages will be released in questing
targeting the same version. With time, they will end up diverging once
they receive updates next cycle.
