description:
mozilla-rootcerts: In DESCR, explain mozilla-rootcerts

It is now known that there are people that prefer manual operation via
the mozilla-rootcerts script to the mozilla-rootcerts-openssl package.
Therefore, mention both approaches (without veering into documentation
of them or tutorial -- just enough to make people aware they exist).
