No trace of /etc/apache2/md/ in packages apache, python3-acme,
certbot, python3-certbot or python3-certbot-apache.

So maybe /etc/apache2/md/ is a remnant of an old version (I have been
updating Debian Testing on this computer since 2017).

Then I had the idea of renaming /etc/apache2/md/ to
/etc/apache2/md_removed/. The error has changed

[md:error] ... (30)Read-only file system: AH10046: setup store for
/etc/apache2/md
AH00016: Configuration Failed
