I am a bit confused, as I have looked at the pkcs7 sig attatched to the
CRR (from the database) through OpenSSL and the serials of the certificate
used to sign and the CA cert are very low (07 and 04) so I don't know
where the BIG integers come from.

Probably a good idea. I must admit that as I don't use Debian, i ignored
the patches thread.
