I think the problem is this:

% openssl x509 -text -in certs/server-wildcard.pem|grep -A2 Validity
        Validity
            Not Before: Feb 22 08:06:33 2008 GMT
            Not After : Feb 21 08:06:33 2009 GMT

Looking at the changelog, the test certificates were renewed upstream
in 1.23 and 1.24.  That doesn't help us much, cherry-picking those will
only lead to another timebomb in the future.

I suggest disabling (most of?) the tests for the lenny security upload.

As for sid/squeeze, I think the best thing to do would be to work
with upstream to make the test suite automatically generate the test
certificates during the build.

Cheers,
