net-im/pidgin-2.5.0 has an option to use system certificates instead of its own.. But we can not do that without the Microsoft cert (for msn messenger)

i really dont want to start adding anything to the ca-certificates package.  best if you file the request with debian.

I agree.. there was a discussion on IRC about creating a ca-certificates-extra with stuff that debian doesn't have..

or just get Debian to include it ... my preference is both for not mucking with this and for not creating our own unofficial store of certs ... then we'll get our own dumping ground of requests that we shouldnt be processing
