I'm on Ubuntu.

$ apt-cache showpkg ca-certificates
Package: ca-certificates
Versions:
20050804(/var/lib/apt/lists/be.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status)

Reverse Depends:
  sendmail-base,ca-certificates
  openssl,ca-certificates
  mutt,ca-certificates
  w3mmee,ca-certificates
  sendmail-base,ca-certificates
  libapache-mod-ssl,ca-certificates
  balsa,ca-certificates
  w3m,ca-certificates
  openssl,ca-certificates
  mutt,ca-certificates
  libcurl3-gnutls,ca-certificates
  libcurl3,ca-certificates
  fetchmail,ca-certificates

I'm no expert, but it looks to me that a load of essential packages in
Ubuntu depends on ca-certificates. I tried removing it, but got an
error for one of the listed packages.

cheers,
