Bug#887412: RM: electrum/2.7.9-1

[Tristan Seligmann <mithrandi@mithrandi.net>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: rm

Unfortunately due to protocol changes Electrum 2.7.9 (the version in stretch)
is unable to connect to the Electrum servers. Backporting the changes would
require extensive/invasive changes to the code, and this version is also
subject to a security vulnerability (#886683), so I think we should remove the
package from stable, unless including a newer upstream wholesale would be
acceptable.
