My only concern is that some crazy Java apps may completely follow the symlink
then check the file name.  Other than that (probably unlikely) problem, I'd
prefer to keep the cacerts name for familiarity to Java administrators.  I'm
fine with changing the location though.

This is slightly unrelated but I thought I should note my concern here.  Eclipse
sometimes completely follows symlinks to look up locations of files within the
JRE directory layout.  For example, it might follow the /usr/bin/java symlink
directly to find the directory where the real binary is located, then look for
another file relative to that directory.  This is the only potential
compatibility problem I can foresee by symlinking to an external cacerts file. 
But I can't see a good way to address this, and the benefits of an external
cacerts file seem to outweigh this unlikely-to-be-hit incompatibility.

Yes, requiring java-openjdk is better.  I specified the openjdk-specific path in
case /usr/bin/keytool, an alternatives-managed symlink, points to
java-gcj-compat's gkeytool which won't work.  That said, this wouldn't be a
concern in koji builds since java-1.5.0-gcj won't be installed there.  It's
probably fine (and definitely simpler) to just run /usr/bin/keytool.
