It's probably not the "Debian way", but I normally mv the old apache.pem
file so I still have it as backup - just in case, and then run
"ssl-certificate". You don't have to specify any options or anything and
it will create a new apache.pem in the proper location, asking you for
details such as Country, State, e-mail address, etc. 

Note though: you may want to use the -days flag so that the certificate
is good for longer than the default of 30 days.
