 Thanks. I didn't check to see if a new certificate had been issued. I
 have published a CRL at http://ca.mit.edu/mitca.crl (I believe it can
 be references via https as well, but it is a signed object so this
 isn't necessary).

 Of course if people don't import this CRL into their browser, it
 doesn't do much good (though once imported into Firefox, it will be
 automatically updated if the user sets it that way).

 Unfortunately, ca-certificates-java apparently throws "some absurd error"
 if you include a CRL in the pack of certificates, and it's not really
 clear if including a CRL via update-ca-certificates is even meaningful.

 We should find out if it is meaningful, and if it is, file a bug about ca-
 certificates-java.
