So we'd have three ca-certificates-* packages?

If this is this only to allow users to remove the bundles (mozilla or
cacert) they do not trust, then couldn't we instead just keep everything
in one package; simply putting the files

	/etc/ca-certificates/conf.d/{mozilla,cacert}.conf 

in the backup array would allow anyone to override them, so disabling a
bundle would also be super easy...

Other than the fragmentation of packages (my new pet gripe), your plan
sounds great!

Cheers.
