Hello.

The Lets Encrypt project is still in Public Beta, and its programs,
libraries, utilities, and other components are under constant and rapid
development and as such has a rapidly-changing code base, which
ultimately requires the code to remain fairly up to date to continue
working with the system as it progresses.  Therefore, as time
progresses, the package here and upstream
(https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt) functionality will diverge
more and more.  Maintaining this program in the repositories may lead to
issues, INCLUDING the loss of upstream support going forward.

I propose removing the Lets Encrypt client and libraries from the
repositories until such time they have a stable, not-rapidly-changing
release.

Therefore, I request the removal of the python-letsencrypt package and
the corresponding python-letsencrypt-apache plugin which depends on this
library, and all binary AND source packages of both packages from the
Xenial repositories, and imposing of a sync blacklist at this time.
