Description
Hi,
Currently all image variants are based on Alpine. It's totally fine, in most cases this is the best choice for the container OS. However, some cases require a different OS to be used while still having to use Docker in Docker. I was successful in running creating a Debian-based DinD image using most of the scripts found in this repo without many changes, so it definitely can be done. Hence my question: wouldn't it be a good idea to add an official Docker image based on an OS other than Alpine?
If there's a green light on that, you can count on me to update the templates and scripts and prepare a PR with needed changes.
M.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's existing Alpine-based image templates and scripts to identify which parts assume Alpine. Determine the Debian/Ubuntu image variants and script updates needed, then verify that Docker-in-Docker still works across the intended variants; completion would be an agreed official non-Alpine image change ready for a pull request.
