This directory in later times is where more and more distros are putting system wide server CA type certs, most distros are moving to this path, so the package maintainer should fix their script, maybe to /etc/ssl/private or such.
Maybe not in /etc/ssl/private for security reasons? 10-ssl.conf uses the same file name for certificate and private key; better change this, too.

Hi,
this is not a genuine Dovecot bug, more a nuisance. It applies to OpenSuse 13.2 but maybe also to other Linux's.
The standard installation of Dovecot (especially 10-ssl.conf) places the certificate dovecot.pem in /etc/ssl/certs. Sometimes during updates does OpenSuse renew all certificates in /etc/ssl/certs and erases dovecot.pem. This blocks further access to the mailbox.
I found a similar report here: https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=27288
