Hello Roland,

We definitely want to move to using a more "Debian standard" approach
to the certbot user -- especially for the keys it writes out --, but
it's a complicated problem. For example, many of the certbot plugins
add or alter webserver configuration, which means that the certbot
user would need permission to access those directories, or some method
of gaining higher privileges for certain operations.

This is something we've talked about with upstream in the past, but we
don't currently have a plan to implement.  I'd personally like to see
us switch to use a more Debian approach for the key storage before we
do anything else -- something I'd like to see go into buster.

Thanks for reporting this!
