Steps to reproduce initially:
 - DO NOT CLEAN THE APT CACHE AT ANY POINT.
 - install a squeeze chroot.
 - make sure /proc is mounted in it, since java wants is badly.
 - install ca-certificates-java.
 - switch sources.list to wheezy.
 - apt-get update && apt-get install ca-certificates

Once the error has been hit once, it can be reproduced by downgrading
both ca-certificates-java and libnss3-1d, and upgrading them again. As
of today, that means:

dpkg --force-depends -P ca-certificates-java libnss3-1d
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ca-certificates-java_20100412_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libnss3-1d_3.12.8-1+squeeze4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ca-certificates-java_20111223_all.deb  /var/cache/apt/archives/libnss3-1d_3.13.1.with.ckbi.1.88-1_amd64.deb

I'll try and debug it further soon.

Thanks to IRILL for sponsoring this BSP in Paris.
