** Description changed:

+ Installing ca-certificates would leave Brazilian users with an empty 
certificates
+ file due to an error in the tranlations for that locale.
+ 
+ This can be reproduced by installing the current version of ca-certificates
+ in dapper, edgy, feisty or gutsy in a pt_BR locale, i.e.
+ 
+   $ sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8
+   $ export LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8
+   $ sudo aptitude install ca-certificates
+ 
+ you will find that the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file is present, 
but of
+ zero size.
+ 
+ If you do nothing more than install a fixed version of the package then you
+ should find that the file is no longer empty, and you were given no debconf
+ prompts.
+ 
+ The following things should also be true:
+ 
+   * Running "dpkg-reconfigure ca-certifcates" before installing a fixed 
version
+      will mean that you are shown a debconf prompt with all of the 
certificates
+      pre-selected, and your choices will be reflected in the generated 
ca-certificates.crt
+      file. (e.g. deselecting all the certificates will leave you with an 
empty file again).
+   * Changing out of the pt_BR locale before upgrading will leave you with
+      an empty file and no questions will be asked.
+ 
+ Also, exactly the same behaviour should be observed after installing a fixed 
version,
+ when upgrading to a new release.
