That's a good point, and I agree that the cert files should really
be in /var (probably /var/run/cups/certs) since they are only used
while the scheduler is running.

Well, /var is just as much a "normal filesystem" as any other place...

Anyways, I've filed this as STR #1211, and we'll move the location
of certificates in CUPS 1.2.
