The bug is closed as invaild and it is quite so.

To quote from the bug:
"Bottom line: this bug has been open nearly four years, and all the information
needed has not yet been presented. I consider four years more than "a
reasonable time", and so have closed this bug. When and if CACert would like to
present the information necessary, they can open another bug and do so."


Cacert has failed to demonstrate a decent procedure and thanks to your
email I verified that my Debian Iceweasel does *not* contain it.
Otherwise I had kicked it out immediately and I would advise everybody
else to do so too.
