This patch is a revert of the upstream patch to Debian's ca-certificate
commit 033d52259172 ("mozilla/certdata2pem.py: print a warning for expired certificates.")

The reason is, that this change broke builds with the popular
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal) releases which are shipping with an
older version of the python3-cryptography package that is not
compatible.

|Traceback (most recent call last):
|  File "certdata2pem.py", line 125, in <module>
|    cert = x509.load_der_x509_certificate(obj['CKA_VALUE'])
|TypeError: load_der_x509_certificate() missing 1 required positional argument: 'backend'
|make[5]: *** [Makefile:6: all] Error 1

...or if the python3-cryptography was missing all together:
|Traceback (most recent call last):
|  File "/certdata2pem.py", line 31, in <module>
|    from cryptography import x509
|ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cryptography'

More concerns were raised by Jo-Philipp Wich:
"We don't want the build to depend on the local system time anyway.
Right now it seems to be just a warning but I could imagine that
eventually certs are simply omitted of found to be expired at
build time which would break reproducibility."
