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.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from stable:
electrum | 2.7.9-1 | source, all
python-electrum | 2.7.9-1 | all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; security issues; broken due to upstream changes
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to 887412@bugs.debian.org.
