Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20190110

Hi.  I have what may seem a slightly strange request.

Can you please have ca-certificates provide the Let's Encrypt CA cert
- currently, the intermediate cert, and in due course their master
root cert, in a specific location in the package ?

I want this to help secure access to a Debian-provided service
(the ftpmaster data API service https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/)
when is accessed by dgit on a Debian sysem.

intrigeri suggested (#932570) that a way to help do this would be to
pin dgit's uses of TLS to the LE CA.  To do this dgit needs to find a
copy of the LE CA cert.

It seems to us that the best way for this to be provided would
be as part of ca-certificates.

It's true that this involves treating LE rather specially.  But LE is
indeed special because it is the CA we use for Debian-provided
services.

What do you think ?

Thanks,
Ian.
