In OE, run-parts is provided by debianutils, or by busybox, both of which
don't have a native version in OE.

ca-certificates seems to always have relied on run-parts from the host
environment. OE even carries a patch to make it work with run-parts from
Fedora.

What would be the preferred way to resolve this so?
