 Indeed. But combined with (a) pkgsrc apparently being unable to provide
 arch-neutral pkgs and (b) the net content of this pkg being totaly arch
 neutral makes me think that pkgsrc is not the best answer for this.
 
 Or that we should add some special treatement, like: when we swich the
 quaterly symlink for amd64 (for example) to run a special script that
 creates a simple "mozilla-certs.tgz" pseudo-set (from the amd64 pkg)
 and stores it at some fixed place for download. Maybe plus a
 "mozilla-certs-hash.txt" that could even be properly signed (by whom?)
 
 But I guess this discussion better should happen elsewhere.
