I'm not sure what the source of that wiki page is nor do I think it has current consensus or implementation. At least it doesn't stem from the ca-certificates maintainers. As with your proposal for a new binary package: I'm not sure we have enough content currently to justify such a thing. We currently have the suggestion to add the EC2 certificate only. What do you think about adding the certificate in a package more specifically geared to this specialist use case? After all, the certificate is not generally usable, only with this specific service. The euca2ools package was suggested as a good place, where Ubuntu seems to keep it aswell, or something like cloud-init?
