Julien and I met at DebConf25 to discuss how to proceed with this bug. The following is a short summary of this meeting:

1. Creating a separate package containing email certificates (both email-only and email+server CA certificates) seems suitable provided they are stored in a separate trust store to avoid re-introducing #721976.

2. What needs to be clarified is how to make software using ca-certificates (like e. g. openssl) aware of this. I. e. they have to use the server CA trust store when validating server certificates and the email CA trust store when dealing with mails.
