The removed CA (GeoTrust Global CA) is used to sign the Apple
intermediate certificate "Apple IST CA 2 - G1".

Firefox and Chrome have some sort of hack (likely a whitelist)
specifically to trust this Apple's intermediate CAs:

So the website still works in Firefox and Chrome on Debian, even with
GeoTrust removed. But it doesn't work with GnuTLS (or the Epiphany web
browser).
