Preserving jre/lib/security/cacerts

[Tomas Salfischberger]

Hi Niels,

I am not sure about openjdk in Ubuntu, but I assume it does not use the 
/etc/java-6-sun/ file as that would be removed when the sun-java6 
pacakges are pruged. Good to read that is has been included in testing 
already, I only checked Lenny and Squeeze and haven't yet upgraded to 
Squeeze.

Tomas
