iotedge won't install on Debian9 because of libssl

See original GitHub issue

I made a Debian 9 automatically from our Azure portal. Followed the official guide to install curl, moby and so on: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-install-iot-edge-linux

But when it comes here it fails and says iotedge depends on libssl1.0.0. But Debian9 has libssl1.0.2 and it does not seem to be downgradable: sudo apt-get install iotedge

Hmm, I see it’s the same as #130. But there are only workarounds presented on that. Meaning anything and everything may fail unexpectedly when using iotedge after that. Isnt’t there an easy fix just to say iotedge should use libssl 1.0.2?

This comment explains how to get the libssl1.1-linking package for Debian 9 amd64.

Many thnaks @arsing that is actually how I have managed the IoT edge working for now. However finding the debian package at Github release page is not common practice for Linux adminstration and it is not mentioned in the documentation of IoT edge. For better adoption by users I suggest to either release packages to packages.microsoft.com regularly or to put some disclaimers to documentation so Debian adopters go straight to Github release page and use dpkg command.

We only put packages for supported distros on packages.microsoft.com, which is not the case for any of the Debians. (This might change in 1.1 )
