Ubuntu has an update repository of the Certificate Authorities in what they call the System-Wide Certificate Authority Database.

...

See the section Certificate into the System-Wide Authority Database on the Ubuntu OpenSSL Help website.

Warning

I noticed that this folder actually contains symbolic links generally to /usr/share/ca-certificates/.

I also believe the symbolic links are generated by the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates.

There is also an entry etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl that reads,

"update the hash symlinks after changes"

Why is this done this way? I do not know. I am guessing that this is for having multiple applications trust the cert store. Still need to research this more.
