+The Debian Package ca-certificates
+----------------------------------
+
+Common CA certificates PEM files, installed in /usr/share/ca-certificates/
+
+It includes the following certificates:
+ - spi-inc.org certificate
+ - db.debian.org certificate
+ - Mozilla builtin CA certificates
+ - brasil.gov.br certificate
+ - cacert.org certificate
+
+configuration file:
+ /etc/ca-certificates.conf
+ - managed by debconf
+ # dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
+
+ update-ca-certificates will update /etc/ssl/certs
+ make hash symlinks
+ generate ca-certificates.crt (single-file version)
+
+/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt will be used by many of the web browsers
+in Debian, including mozilla, when deciding what secure web sites to trust.
+
+For w3m package, it has ssl_ca_path configuration in /etc/w3m/w3mconfig,
+so it works without any configuration. You can specify
+/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt for ssl_ca_file instead.
+
+
+How certificate will be accepted in ca-certificates package
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - submit *GPG signed* bug report to ca-certificate with severity normal.
+ the bug report should include
+ - description of the CA
+ - how to obtain CA cert pem or paste it in the bug report
+ - license of the CA certificate
+ - fingerprint and/or hash value of the cert
+ - get 2 or 3 recommendation ("seconded" mail) from other people to
+ the bug report, GPG signed.
+ I won't accept if the CA is requested by only one people.
