I think it makes sense. As things are right now, you need the cert
package or freschlam will fail by default. It is not strictly required
because you could use a private mirror or use http:// prefix at the
beginning of the hostname and it should use not use https (that is what
I noticed in the source code).

Worth noting: apt is `essential' and recommends ca-certificates so there
is atleast one package on the system recommending it. If I try to remove
ca-certificates on any of my systems apt then wants to remove packages
which I wouldn't expect that they depend on it :)
