Oops, I read the OP's message too hastily.  I should have noted the
subject more carefully and the use of *certificate* rather than
*key* above.

| SSH keys are not bound to domain name anyway afaik.

Yes, I think this is true too.  But IMO it is not a good idea to try
to move them to another system.

True.  There are likely many different certificates in use.
openssl(1) can be used to generate another one (self-signed).  If it
was generated automatically for you, you can probably find how it
was generated in the postinst script for the relevant package in
/var/lib/dpkg/info.

Thanks for pointing out my error and my apologies to the OP.

Best regards,
