After a jessie upgrade today, I got the same regression and spent some time
debugging it (before finding this report) and got to the same conclusion as 
other here: side effect of removing 1024b root CAs is that OpenSSL 1.0.1
fails to verify alternative chains (where a server-sent intermediate CA is
a locally trusted root one).

I'm re-titling an raising the severity here, hoping it will help other people
noticing the regression in the meanwhile.

Cheers, Luca
