I'm not really sure what piuparts is testing here, nor how to suppress this error. debian/ca-certificates.postrm in purge does:

  rm -f /etc/ca-certificates.conf*

This configuration file is nearly guaranteed to be modified, so it should be expected to have a different size.

On a fresh VM, installing and purging the package, the config files are removed as I would expect. If there is some reasonable way for piuparts to ignore a configuration file that is expected to be modified, I'd like to know how to add this exclusion to ca-certificate to prevent this error, particularly if it's affecting other packages.
