I'm sorry to say that I'm honestly pretty strongly -1 on adding buster variants right now. Debian Buster is the current "testing" repository, which means that any package updates in Buster (including and especially security fixes) will be delayed anywhere from 2-10 days (and in some cases even longer). Once Buster gets closer to freeze (and thus release as Stable), I'd be more willing to consider an additional variant for it.
@tianon Thanks for the reply, when I opened the issue I didn't know that this was the case with buster (I thought it was stable as Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is based on it). I understand your hesitation to add buster today.

Sure! See https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ for more information about the Buster release. 👍

Closing. Since we maintain the Debian images as well, we'll likely add Buster images once it is released later this year.
