+This field's value must be a package containing X.509 certificates for
+so-called ``Certification Authorities'' (CAs) that is made available in
+the @file{/etc/ssl/certs} directory. Currently this directory is
+accessed by applications using either the GnuTLS library or the OpenSSL

+By default, certificates from
