This is not the case here ! There is only a renaming. The fix is easy and this
bug should stay critical to not slip out of Etch. If a function was renamed in
libc, would you say that it breaks unrelated software only if you have
configured that software to use this function ? The aim of ca-certificates is
to be used by packages requiring certificates. Its "interface" should be
stable.

Please, set back severity to critical to ensure that this bug will be fixed for
Etch and will not be forgot.
