Notes
[stretch] - nss <ignored> (Issue is specific to TLS 1.3 and support was not really complete in 3.26; code has diverged significantly since and applying the fix would be very disruptive)
[jessie] - nss <ignored> (Issue is specific to TLS 1.3 and support was not really complete in 3.26; code has diverged significantly since and applying the fix would be very disruptive)

firefox-esr in older suites than buster use the embedded copy and thus issue
is just fixed by updating firefox-esr to 60.8.0. For the others an update to
src:nss is needed as firefox-esr uses the system library.
[wheezy] - nss <ignored> (Issue is specific to TLS 1.3 and support was not really complete in 3.26; code has diverged significantly since and applying the fix would be very disruptive)
