I didn't get any notification about the reassignment.  Please copy me
next time you try this.  The To was also very unhelpful.

RC bug bouncing is fun.

Untrue.  If anything ssl-cert provides them.

So ssl-cert actually stores data in /etc/ssl/certs.  ca-certificates
should not remove anything that's in /etc/ssl/certs unless you tell it to
in ca-certificates.conf (by prefixing the cert filename with !), by
virtue of update-ca-certificates.

It does, however, purge dangling symbolic links in certain circumstances.
But those shouldn't have been symlinks after all.

The maintainer scripts only do fancy editing on ca-certificates.conf and
call update-ca-certificates.

Unless I'm provided with more information (i.e. a reproducable testcase)
or am pointed to something that ca-certificates clearly does wrong it's
probably not a valid RC bug...

Kind regards,
