It still seems to me that the best solution is in my comment above:
<snip>
I realize that we may need to wait for this to be fixed in the Debian
package upstream, but I believe this to be of more importance than
"wishlist". In essence, there is no reference or dependency to the
ssl-cert package, leaving many users in the dark about this issue. At
this point, if we are to handle this in Ubuntu, (as opposed to waiting
for the fix upstream), we have a couple of options:

1. Use the patch that I have submitted above and add
apache2-ssl-certificate back into the apache2 package itself.
2. add the ssl-cert package as a dependence to to the apache2 package,
and upload that version.
3. add documentation to th README.Debian which states the issue and
how to resolve it

I recommend either 1 or 2, (2 is preferred, since it is the direction
chosen by the upstream maintainers), but 3 is an acceptable interim
option. All options would diverge the Apache2 package in Ubuntu from
the Debian upstream... I will be happy to provide a patch for either
2 or 3, but want to see what works best for everyone. (1 is already
available above).

Let me see if I can get a Debian Maintainer to sponsor a patch to
include ssl-cert as a dependency in the Debian package upstream.

thanks,
