I've given this some thoughts, and believe the original issue has been solved
when the bogus /etc/skel/ symlink that was part of the debian-edu-config
package was removed.  With this change, I believe the cert override file
would include the needed override for https://www/ and others.

The file in /etc/skel/ is still a symlink, now always pointing to
/etc/iceweasel/profile/cert_override.txt on the main-server, and this might
give problems when trying to add more overrides.

Oded, can you comment on why you decided to create a symink in /etc/skel/?

If it should not be a symlink but a copy, the fix for snakeoil-on-ice is fairly
easy, changing a 'cp -s' to a simple 'cp', and changing a test to check if the
file is identical to the file it used ti symlink to instead of checking if it
is the correct symlink.  I believe this patch would be enough:
