Doesn't the package listing show it's in another location like /etc/ssl or /usr/share/ssl (or use (s)locate, find or whatever else)? If it isn't and you can't find a Debian package containing a proper conf then maybe this Debian Admin article can help your fill it: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/284/print
