Then Sympa *does* work without the recommended ca-certificates package.If Sympa not only should work without recommends, but work out of the box, then we should IMO change the default configuration to not enable S/MIME support out of the box.
You are right that ca-certificated isn't really a problem to depend on for the wast majority of users, but for the minority of users who might choose to not trust the third parties provided in ca-certificates, it *is* a problem to remove that package if depended on by Sympa.
Yes, it is possible to install ca-certificates and then configure it to disable all of its certificates, and then at each upgrade of the package again make sure to disable them all, but that has an in-built risk of accidentally enabling them.
