Comment 3 for bug 152874

According to this line in the dovecot-common.postinst script:

SSL_CERT=$( (grep "ssl_cert_file" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf || echo
'/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem') | cut -d'=' -f2)

the cert it finds is:

/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

This cert is configured in the dovecot.conf file by the
ssl-cert-snakeoil.dpatch patch. I believe this certificate is created by
the ssl-cert package. So I guess not creating a certificate during install
is the intended result. If you want to use SSL with Dovecot you can either
use the ssl-cert-snakeoil certificate or generate one of your own.

I assume this is a feature imported from Debian?
