+This field's value must be a package containing X.509 certificates for
+so-called ``Certification Authorities'' (CAs) that is made available in
+the @file{/etc/ssl/certs} directory.  Currently this directory is
+accessed by applications using either the GnuTLS library or the OpenSSL
+library.

+By default, certificates from
+@uref{https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS,
+Mozilla's Network Security Services} are used.  These are the
+certificates shipped by Mozilla browsers and derivatives such as
+GNU@tie{}IceCat.
