gdt faf4404055 mozilla-rootcerts: Move MESSAGE content into documentation
Drop MESSAGE content pointing out mozilla-rootcerts-openssl that is
duplicative with DESCR.

Move MESSAGE content about installation for gnupg2 into a
documentation file; this is simply normal documentation about how to
use an installed package.  Mention this documentation in DESCR, so
that prospective users get the right sense of what the package can do.

This package provides the certificates distributed by the Mozilla
Project, with the exception of any certificates not globally trusted.
It also provides a script, mozilla-rootcerts, which can be used to
install the root CA certificates distributed by the Mozilla Project
into a location that makes them usable by TLS implementations, extract
them to the current working directory, or rehash the existing
certificates.
NB: This package provides certificates, but does not as a consequence
of installation place them in a location that makes them immediately
usable by SSL/TLS implementations.
Use the 'mozilla-rootcerts install' script or mozilla-rootcerts-openssl
package if you want to use these certificates.
This package includes instructions for configuring gnupg2 to use the
certificates.
