The next release is out (5:18.09.1~3-0~debian-stretch) and the upgrade
didn't quite go as smoothly as I had hoped for :-/

Before upgrading, you should stop a running Docker Engine. You can do
so with
$ sudo invoke-rc.d docker stop
Please note that this will take down any running containers.
If you happened to apt upgrade before doing so, you'll see something
like the following:
$ sudo apt upgrade
[...]

dpkg: error processing package docker-ce (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
docker-ce
Fixing up isn't very difficult. Just stop the daemon and configure any
pending packages, like so:
$ sudo invoke-rc.d docker stop
$ sudo dpkg --configure --pending
After the upgrade, start the daemon again with:
$ sudo invoke-rc.d docker start
Whether or not containers that were running before you stopped the
daemon will be restarted depends on their restart policy.
Hope this helps,
