I don't think this should be packaged. Debian already offers a
certificate store provided by the ca-certificates package in
/etc/ssl/certs, in a form that can be consumed by modules and libraries
based on OpenSSL.

If this is required as a dependency, the depending package should be
patched (possibly to support more than a single CA) or this package
should only be a stub to the Mozilla CA in ca-certificates.

In the case of LWP::UserAgent, setting SSL_ca_file to
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt or SSL_ca_path to /etc/ssl/certs
should work. Then it will support all certificates the local
administrator has enabled.
