But I would also point out that on stable Debian it’s near impossible to deploy Certbot because the versions available are too old, especially the plugins. I’ve been routinely installing the snap instead because it’s a quick and easy way to deploy the service at the latest version. The only other alternative to suggest is to request the Certbot project deploys custom deb repos or similar. But can we expect that of every project? Perhaps we need a new standard to replace snap, if so the only folks I can see large enough to promote it would be GitHub... Since that’s unlikely to happen, maybe just noting the auto-update “feature” more prominently in their is all they should need to do?
