The path pointed to by ‛certificate-chain’ contains the entire chain
(excluding the root) as provided by Let's Encrypt.

Do you have a concrete usecase?  It appears Let's Encrypt has settled on
intermediates with <2y lifetime (i.e., shorter than Debian Stable's
lifetime), and earlier rotation is at their own discretion, so I don't
see how we can reliably provide them as part of the source package.
(Updating via (o)s-pu might be an option, but that would only work if
the rotation is announced early enough ahead of the point release
freeze.)
