I think this is the way we should go forward that will satisfy the users
of CAcert and also satisfy the desire to keep that certificate no longer
in the ca-certificates core package.

We can just have ca-certificates build and extra binary package with only
this certificate in it. ca-certificates would not depend or recommend this
new package.

As I've argued before, I'm fully in agreement with the fact that CAcert
should no longer be in ca-certificates proper. I see that adding a
separate binary package will not hurt that decision. I still acknowledge
that CAcert is somewhat 'special', being the only community CA, so I think
it's defendable that we create a separate binary package for it. And that
we will not do the same for any next random root CA that comes by, so it
will only be this one.

Do the maintainers agree?


Cheers,
Thijs
