Severity: wishlist

Hi.

In a way,.. this issue is kinda upstream, well at least it's blocked by an 
upstram
issue which I've reported (https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15485) and closely
related to it.

In Debian, packages should ideally use the certificates provided by
the ca-certificates package, which is for pidgin currently not the case.

The afforementioned upstream bug #15485 requests additional CA cert locations 
to be
specifyable (both, on a per user and a system-wide basis).


Once this should be implemented, we should think about whether and how we might
use this for a better integration with ca-certificates.
One way could be a debconf question, where we ask admins whether they want to
automatically add the certs in /etc/ssl/certs to the trusted ones.
And/or one could document this in README.Debian.


Cheers,
Chris.
