[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#826147: new upstream version available (0.7.0)

[Antoine Beaupré]

Package: certbot
Version: 0.6.0
Severity: wishlist

A new upstream release was published 6 days ago. It would be great to
see this in Debian, especially since I'm having some problems
automating renewals with the 0.6 release:

https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/2984

I have tried to build the package myself but I am confused by the
debian/control file autogeneration process and the clean target which
breaks builds with git-buildpackage:

Shouldn't this be handled by deb-substvars instead?

Maybe that should be a separate bug report, but I'm abusing this one
in the hope it's just me that is confused. ;)
