No, I don't know of any plan or discussion about making a web 
interface for creating certificate requests. I think there may be a 
place for such a thing in Debian (if it does not already exist), but I 
would prefer it to be in a separate package.

Apart from that, the command line interface in ssl-cert could also use 
some improvements.

Cheers,
