I've just checked this on a new VM of Debian Stable (7.8.0) and can confirm that this is a bug with the Ubuntu packaging, not the Debian packaging. The Debian package doesn't ask if you want to use your own certificate, it simply generates a self-signed certificate and starts using that. Presumably, the Ubuntu Devs decided that people might want to skip that generation if they had their own certificates already. > > Bob
