+The Debian Package ca-certificates-local
+----------------------------
+
+This package includes local CA certificates to be installed in
+/usr/local/share/ca-certificates. The CA certificates installed by this
+package will be implicitly trusted.
+
+This is an example stub source package that includes a dummy CA
+certificate in the local/ directory. Remove the dummy certificate, copy
+your trusted local root CA (in PEM format with the filename ending in
+".crt") to the local/ directory, edit files in the debian/ directory as
+desired, and build your custom package.
+
+----------------------------
+
+Steps to build your custom local root CA package from this example:
+
+- Check that your local root CA is in PEM-encoded format, the filename
+ ends in ".crt", and that it is properly usable by openssl; for example:
+
+ $ openssl x509 -text -in Deep_Thought_Dummy_Root_CA.crt
+ Certificate:

+ Version: 3 (0x2)
+ Serial Number: 66 (0x42)

+- Copy this example source package somewhere to build as a normal user,
+ for instance your home directory:
+
+ $ cp -a /usr/share/doc/ca-certificates/examples/ca-certificates-local ~/
+ $ cd ~/ca-certificates-local/
+
+- Remove the dummy CA certificate, copy your local root CA certificate(s)
+ to the local/ directory, and build the package:
+
+ $ rm local/Local_Root_CA.crt
+ $ cp /path/to/YourOrg_Root_CA.crt local/
+ $ dpkg-buildpackage
+
+- Install the package (or copy it to your local apt repository for
+ installation on lots of machines):
+
+ $ sudo dpkg -i ../ca-certificates-local_0.1_all.deb
+
+- Feel free to edit the files under the debian/ directory for items like
+ the maintainer name and email address, version, etc. to better reflect
+ your own organization. This is just an example to get you started with
+ a proper local root CA package.
