    Is my understanding that Apache2

    ... default HTTPS configuration will use a certificate and key
    generated by the ssl-cert package.

    That mean that the files ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and ssl-cert-snakeoil.key are unique per each ssl-cert installation? Where is the script that generates them?
