 To ensure the broadest compatibility when building the benchmark library, but
 still allow forward progress, we require any build tooling to be available for:
 
+* Debian stable AND
 * The last two Ubuntu LTS releases AND
-* Debian stable
 
 Currently, this means using build tool versions that are available for Ubuntu
 16.04 (Xenial), Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic), and Debian stretch.
 
+_Note, [travis](.travis.yml) runs under Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) for linux builds._
