In fact, letsencrypt was never in jessie either.  Both certbot and
letsencrypt have only ever been in stable-bpo, stretch, and sid.

If you're referring to #825619, that was a bug in a dependency, not in
certbot, which we worked around by specifying a child version dependency
in python-acme.

Either way, I don't see the relevance for the larger discussion.  I'm
happy to discuss the breakage off-list, if you have concerns.

Sincerely,
