I agree with that, except on the *latest* dependency. In short:
- Docker use v9
- Debian packages v10
- Upstream is at... v15!

A quick look at https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/tags shows
that major release are made every 2 or 3 months.

So I can open an issue at Docker, but then I cannot ask them to use the
latest version of azure-sdk, only to use the next version, and please
don't go further :) If I want to do that, maybe I'd better come with a
patch.

Thanks for the advice anyway!
