You disabled the auto-pilot. Now steer manually.

For some reason, if ca-certificates is removed then SYMPA will be broken with the next restart.
When not respecting recommends, you cannot expect package to work "out of the box" but will need some hand-tuning to get working.
Do you dare say that it is not possible - with hand-tuning - to get some parts of sympa working when ca-certificates is not around?
I strongly suspect that even without changing a single line in sympa configuration files, but only using some openssl command to generate a certificate and a crl file for it, sympa can run fine.
