hmm, why the certificates bundle is openssl specific?
glen at builder-ac pld/SPECS $ rpm -qf /etc/openssl/ca-certificates.crt
ca-certificates-20080809-3.noarch

and why openssl-tools is required?
glen at builder-ac pld/SPECS $ rpm -qf /etc/openssl
openssl-tools-0.9.7m-1.i686

what's the purpose of /etc/certs then
glen at builder-ac pld/SPECS $ rpm -qf /etc/certs
filesystem-2.3-1.i686

i would store it as /etc/certs/ca-bundle.crt and let the package depend on 
filesystem only. i can't find any pkg right now using ssl ca certs in .crt 
format and not linked with openssl, but openssl-tools definately isn't 
neccessary.

also, should we also let nss build from ca-certificates it's source? (so we 
have one centric source for certificates)
