Package: finch
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: minor

Most often when I sign in onto one of my MSN accounts, or my MSN
contacts sign in, change ther display name, etc... a tab pops up, asking
me to validate an SSL certificate:

"SSL Certificate Verification

Accept certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com?

The root certificate this one claims to be issued by is unknown to Pidgin."

It seems that MSN uses some CDN thing, and I've seen three certificates
that cause the warning:

They seem legit, so I've accepted them (yes, the problem appeared around
that time).

This is annoying, and breaks auto-reconnection (since when I'm away, and
the connection drops, no one is there to accept the certificate for me).
