I think we should bump ABI again. We should also do the equivalent of
these changes in sid, with s/gcc-7/gcc-6/.
* [x86] Add versioned build-dependency on gcc-7 for retpoline support
* [x86] linux-compiler-gcc-7-x86: Add versioned dependency on gcc-7 for
retpoline support
* [x86] linux-headers: Depend on updated linux-compiler-gcc-7-x86
