Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20250419
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

to fix #721976 the ca-certificates package has dropped email certificates.
As a result signature verification of signed mails using S/MIME fails in
some cases, e. g. for certificates derived from the "HARICA Client RSA Root
CA 2021" root certificate. This e. g. affects checks like

openssl smime -verify -in signedmail.eml > /dev/null

but also more common use cases like the signature verification in the 
SOGo web mail client [0] are affected.

To avoid re-introducing the issue giving rise to #721976 I suggest to 
introduce a new separate binary package for email certificates (maybe
something along the lines of [1]).

Best regards

Peter
