I see, I haven't thought about all aspects. I just checked if it is needed to 
get a system up and running or if it is needed by another core package.

Rechnically there is no defference if it was in core or extra. It is not 
required by any package in core/base and its not installed by default anyway.

But if we agree to extend the definition of the core repo to some kind of 
advanced quality/security concerns I am fine with keeping it in core.


PS: There is a ca-certificates package in testing for a while. Afaik brain0 
started a base group cleanup; not sure if he finished it and this package was 
forgotten.
