Debian, like other software distributors, has as a precaution decided to disable the DigiNotar Root CA by default in its ca-certificates bundle.

For other software in Debian that ships a CA bundle, like the Mozilla suite, updates are forthcoming.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), the ca-certificates package does not contain this root CA.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), the root CA has been disabled starting ca-certificates version 20090814+nmu3.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), the root CA has been disabled starting ca-certificates version 20110502+nmu1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ca-certificates packages.");
