the first thing i always do aftera fresh install:
----------------------------
mv /usr/share/ssl /etc
cd /usr/share
ln -s /etc/ssl
----------------------------
:-) so i definitely agree with you. i don't know make this rule, but 
it'd be _very_ useful to convince him, that config files should have to 
be under somewhere /etc/ (but that's another story).
and my current pem files are under /etc/ssl/,
----------------------------
# ls -aZ /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
-rw-r--r--  root     root     root:object_r:usr_t 
/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
----------------------------
and in my messages:
----------------------------
Mar 31 17:08:23 kek kernel: audit(1112281703.777:0): avc:  denied  { 
read } for  pid=14271 exe=/usr/sbin/nscd name=cacert.pem dev=md0 
ino=2291612 scontext=root:system_r:nscd_t tcontext=root:object_r:usr_t 
tclass=file
----------------------------
that's why i ask for it:-)
yours.
