That is what I'm thinking about. All service certificates should be
symlink to one generic name (as Martin proposed) but that name
shouldn't be snake-oil because the meaning of the word "snake oil", IMO.
thishost.{pem,key,crt,p12} looks better.

Another idea is to make that decision to user/admin during installation
through debconf or something similar, but don't ask me for patch
because I don't know how to make it. :)
