This shrinks the image from 244MB to 14.6MB. 78MB of the prior image is the Ubuntu layer so we don't actually reclaim that space. However, the Ubuntu `apt-get` command adds 166MB vs the Alpine `apk add` which adds 5.6MB. That saves 160MB. This passes all the tests and example solutions once exercism/bash#771 and exercism/bash#772 are included.
