The directory /etc/ssl/certs/ is used by other packages, including
apache and uw-imapd to store ssl certificates. It would be nice if
courior could put its cert there, instead of in /etc/courior. For
example, I am in the proceess of transitioning from the uw imapd to
courior, and if it had continued to use /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.psm, my
certicifacte would not have changed. I fixed this locally with a
symlink:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           24 Sep 22 16:02 /etc/courier/imapd.pem -> /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem

I have recently taken over maintenance of the courier packages.  I apologize
that nobody responded to your bug report.

Many packages in Debian store their SSL certificates in their own /etc
directories.  I think this is generally desirable behavior.  If you feel that
these should be moved to /etc/ssl/certs by default, can you please provide
some further information as to why that should be the case?
