consider replacing mandos with tang/clevis
we're having significant issues with mandos. lots of false positives (server that are disabled even though they've not been stolen), are missing automation (#40096) and monitoring (#40380)
let's switch to clevis and tang instead. those are well packaged in debian now and there are puppet forge modules for both (https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppet/clevis/readme and https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppet/tang/readme), although they'd need porting to debian.
@weasel has been working on this for DSA, and it seems to work well. it can do k out of N as well, so we could (and should) have a fleet of tang servers that clients (clevis) can check.
