Subject: bug#46779: GnuTLS uses the hard-coded /etc/ssl/certs location for TLS certificates

As a rule of thumb, I would avoid diverging from upstream, especially
for touchy points like this one: it quickly gets problematic when a
same-named package behaves differently across distros.
In this case, because GnuTLS does not honor any environment variables,
applications/libraries linked against it have to provide their own
mechanism for users to specify the certificate search path. Normally,
they already do that.
WDYT?
Ludo’.
