My apologies for not responding to this report sooner.

Did you read the whole section on PEM files in README.ssl?  It says:

  - A SSL certificate. By default, an RSA certificate is looked for at
  the location /usr/share/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem. To get an RSA
  certificate, either buy one from a certificate authority, or you can
  create your own self-signed certificate. If you have OpenSSL installed,
  you may find a "Makefile" in your shared certificates directory, e.g.
  /usr/share/ssl/certs. In that case, go to that directory and type e.g.
  "make vsftpd.pem". Then answer the questions you are asked.
  Alternatively, read the man page for "openssl".

The man page isn't the greatest, but there is other documentation
available for OpenSSL.  For an example you can read mkimapdcert,
which is a shell script.

It would be nice if vsftpd offered to create an SSL certificate when
installed; I'll leave the bug open for now.
