"Let's Encrypt's ACMEv1 API is deprecated and in the process of being
shut down. Beginning with brownouts in January 2021, and ending with a
total shutdown in June 2021, the Let's Encrypt APIs will become
unavailable. To prevent users having disruptions to their certificate
renewals, this update backports the switch over to the ACMEv2 API.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
0.28.0-1~deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-certbot packages.

For the detailed security status of python-certbot please refer to its
security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-certbot

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
