Description
Given the recent urwid debacle taking down our infra, its about time we take seriously source installs of Checkbox. Checkbox source IS part of our infra, it is not a development tool anymore. As such, the distribution of it must be fixed.
This is the first step: all packages are pin to the same version one can find them in the universe of each LTS (some excluding xenial, given that xenial doesn't offer them, they are instead pinned for compatibility with python3.5).
