Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20130610
Severity: normal

The ca-certificates package ships certificates which are trusted
for either CKA_TRUST_SERVER_AUTH or CKA_TRUST_EMAIL_PROTECTION.

Some of those CA certs are only valid for one or the other, and
bundling them together is problematic.

For example, the Verisign_Class_1_Public_Primary_Certification_Authority.pem
cert is only valid for email, but can be currently used to validate
web server certs.

I'm not quite sure how we can resolve this, besides separating
certs to be used for server validation from the certs to be used for
email validation.
