/etc/ssl/certs makes sense to me.  I'm an /etc minimalist though and
don't like having extra content without a really good reason.

/etc/pki could make sense if you wanted your certificate information
available in a single location independent of ssl specifically, but I
can't think of any reason for BLFS since there are no other packages
that directly handle certificates in use, as far as I recall.
