Bug#672345: gnutls-bin: recent versions don't like RapidSSL signatures

Package: gnutls-bin
Version: 3.0.19-2
Severity: normal

$ gnutls-cli -V mail.bluebottle.com -p 443
Processed 152 CA certificate(s).
Resolving 'mail.bluebottle.com'...
Connecting to '176.9.67.91:443'...
- Peer's certificate issuer is unknown
- Peer's certificate is NOT trusted
- The hostname in the certificate matches 'mail.bluebottle.com'.
*** Verifying server certificate failed...
*** Fatal error: Error in the certificate.
*** Handshake has failed
GnuTLS error: Error in the certificate.

The above is what happens when I use gnutls-cli from a Debian/Unstable system
to try and connect to a web server with a RapidSSL signed certificate.

Doing the same thing with a Debian/Squeeze system gets the following:
