+Subject: [PATCH] ca-certificates: fix python3-cryptography woes in
+ certdata2pem.py
+
+reverts the code portion of the Debian's ca-certificate
+commit 033d52259172 ("mozilla/certdata2pem.py: print a warning for expired certificates.")
+
+It broke builds with the popular Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) releases.
+This was due to them shipping with an older python3-cryptography
+version which is not compatible.
+
+More concerns were raised by jow- as well:
+"We don't want the build to depend on the local system time anyway."
