New description:

 our current puppetmaster configuration ("apache + passenger") is
 deprecated and will be removed in Puppet 6. we need to switch to the
 alternative, which is "puppetserver", a daemon written in Clojure
 especially for that purpose.

 the tool is [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830904 not
 yet in Debian], so this can wait until then. otherwise we could also use
 the upstream puppet debian repositories.

 our "old" passenger configuration lead to at least one security issue
 (#33587) which was due to how complex that configuration is.

 puppet 5, as a whole, is EOL in november 2020, so we should consider an
 upgrade path to Puppet 6 by then. the packaging work is happening in
 [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950182 bts #950182].

Comment:

 puppet 5 is EOL in november 2020, so this is broader than just
 puppetserver. also added a link to the Puppet 6 ticket in the Debian bts.
