Indeed since upstream commit e6035577f33b8d34a10117bf30bffda45719896a
(first included in v2.1.0), ooniprobe's README.rst recommends
installing obfs4proxy instead of obfsproxy.

Nicolas, do you want to file bugs recommending these two changes?

OK, so I've tagged #884043 wontfix.

Dear fteproxy maintainers, if you ever decide that fteproxy should not
be in the next Debian stable release, please let us know: this would
allow us to also drop obfsproxy which is mostly dead upstream. In the
meantime, let's keep obfsproxy in the archive as long as it's
maintainable and fteproxy wants it :)

Cheers,
