Indeed, I added them to mozilla/blacklist.txt to cut down on noise, but
you are correct, they are not installed either way.

Looking at the current openssl-blacklist package, I agree; I don't see
value in adding the untrusted certs there.

I was considering a way to whitelist the explicitly untrusted certs in
ca-certificates, so that we were installing them, but that seems a bit
outside the scope of the package, the more I think about it - if the CA
is not installed, the request fails.  I'll back out that commit.
