Got patches for all the mail-related rdeps of ca-certificates?  :-)

I have not gone through every rdep package to cound, but there are quite
a few mail-related pacakges, so they should each have some new
filesystem location to search for mail-specific CA certificates.

Exactly. I also do not know if pointing mail-related CAs to another
filesystem location and patching mail-related packages to look there is
sufficient - are there mail clients/utilities that also open https web urls?
