Oops, sorry I forgot to tell I'm under Debian sid.

No, it is pure missing:
I copied the client certificate id (generated in root.srl) into root.crl
and still nothing,
I also tested a copy of this file (instead a symlink) into
/var/lib/postgresql/9.0/main/,
and in /var/lib/postgresql/ (Debian postgres user home)
and also into /var/lib/postgresql/.postgresql/ !
