I wasn't clear enough.

What I was trying to say was that their _low_ price CA, RapidSSL, is
offering this for the time being, which is not usually the case.
RapidSSL was explicitly mentioned as not being reissuable without paying
extra.

I just checked the wiki page and it's been changed to that effect in the
meanwhile :) - http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys?action=diff&rev2=162&rev1=161

I hope I wasn't sounding like Verisign PR in my first mail, but I was
really happy with this action of theirs, as I use quite a number of
RapidSSL certficates for my customers. And yes, I had to reissue a few.
Luckily, most were fine.

Borut.
