This adds Ondřej Surý's PPA to your system so you can upgrade the packages.
if it makes you feel any better, the official dockerhub images aren't ready yet either.
Debian has had the patch for days, as have other main distros, and tested and prepared the release. That's why it was instant.
Unclear why Ubuntu is lagging.
Why do people still use Ubuntu?

Debian for servers that never need updates (but I even use Fedora for server now adays)
