Hi Alexanser,

I believe whoever installs the ca-certificates package really wants to trust the CAs included in it, *system wide*.

As a maintainer of websites that uses cacert certificates, It's much easier to ask the user to install that package rather to install the certificate itself. It's even more important since now firefox won't even let you browse the page without the ca certificate installed.

this bug is not about the default certificates installed with firefox. it is about whether or not to allow to user the easily (and knowingly) trust more CA (the most common ones) to ssl and internet browsers.

please tell me if i'm missing the point.

thanks,
