Hello Andres,

Martin Pitt and I just checked and found three points:

1) pkg:ca-certificates provides those PEM files.
2) CUPS only depends on the certificates.
3) Any missing certificate could only be the result of a) manual
removal or b) broken maintainer scripts in pkg:ca-certificates.

Please correct us if you disagree.  Alternately, if you agree, please
reassign this bug to ca-certificates.
