I think this is a separate issue with jarsigner not the ca-certificates
package.

I think the tool can't find the "thawte Premium Server CA" certificate
(which was removed from ca-certificates) which is the old Root
certificate. But of course the "Thawte Primary Root CA" is still part of
ca-certificates because it is the "new" certificate. Both root certs are
eligible to certify your code signing intermediate certificate. You only
need one of the two certificates to be in the certificate store to
verify the intermediate, yet jarsigner wants to have both. This sounds
more like a problem with jarsigner which can not recognize alternative
certification chains. Much like the problem openssl has in the current
version in stable.
