major version bump of virtualenv (updated 2019-02-10) breaks multistage docker builds using pipenv

Issue description

Pipenv installs new version of virtualenv (20.0.1) when updated or installed for the first time. The new version of virtualenv, which is a complete rewrite and does not have the same virtualenv directory structure as previous major release, appears to break python apps deployed using a multistage docker build process, ie.

FROM python:3.6 as build
# install any build dependencies using package manager
RUN pip install pipenv
RUN pipenv install
RUN python setup.py install
FROM python:3.6
COPY --from build <path_to_virtualenv_location> <path_to_location_in_final_step>
ENTRYPOINT ['<path_to_location_in_final_step/bin/<executable_name>'

Expected result

Running container should result in the executable running successfully.

Actual result

Executable fails with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

I experience the same issue. I roll back virtualenv version to pip install -U virtualenv==16.7.9 as mentioned by @ianlofs . My question is does latest virtualenv removed relocatable?
