p11-kit's "trust extract --format=java-cacerts ..." works pretty well in my
experience (that's how Alpine Linux solves this particular problem:

(and how I've done so on systems where I didn't want to install
ca-certificates-java for one reason or another)

Using p11-kit to avoid the circular dependency sounds nice.  Bastian's
suggestion is not ideal, but works for me as well.
