Install fails in Debian Stretch (iotedge_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb)

Expected Behavior

The “sudo apt-get install iotedge” command should install IoT Edge

Current Behavior

sudo apt-get install iotedge

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 iotedge : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.2~beta3) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If we try to install libssl1.0.0 this fails too:

sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libssl1.0.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libssl1.0.0' has no installation candidate

Additional Information

I am aware that Debian is currently not supported and that there is a suggestion about this here: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/907045-azure-iot-edge/suggestions/34685371-can-not-install-iotedge-1-0-0-1-amd64-deb-package.

However we would really like to test IoT Edge on Debian, as this is very important for us. Does anyone have any suggestions for workarounds so that we can install for testing?

Also, any information on when a version of IoT Edge that can be installed on Debian is available is really appreciated.

@Mo-GH It doesn’t look like Debian9 images are built regularly. https://packages.microsoft.com/debian/9/prod/pool/main/i/iotedge/ contains only 1.0.7.1 My advise would be to got with Ubuntu instead. If there are issues on Debian (such as packaging or dependency issues) then you’re likely on your own.
