Public bug reported:

This appears to have been fixed in 8.10 and newer, but since 8.0.4 is an
LTS release, I'm posting this bug.  The package libcurl3 should depend
on ca-certificates being installed.  However, the libcurl3 package in
8.0.4 doesn't list ca-certificates as a dependancy.  It is listed as a
dependancy in 8.10.

Below is the output of 'aptitude show libcurl3' on Ubuntu 8.10:

Notice the Depends line is missing ca-certificates in the 8.0.4.2
output.
