Hi Florian,

Thank you for very detailed explanation of problem and for providing 
reproducer.

Perhaps to some extent this confusion is inevitable... However I would 
welcome patches to README.Debian if some aspects of Kubernetes configuration 
on Debian are worth clarifying.

I see...

Your bug report makes perfect sense. Thank you. I agree that this problem 
needs fixing.

Don't you worry about this. Even though I did not have a chance to reproduce 
the problem myself I'm sure it won't be a problem with all information you've 
provided.

Not at all. :)  I did not try to reproduce the problem yet and I have little 
operational knowledge of Kubernetes to claim that it works.
Please leave this with me -- I'll have a look as soon as time allows.

Also Tim gave us a clue about potential source of problem so I have something 
to try...
