Indeed, firing up a text editor on /etc/ssl/cert.pem would try to alter
contents of symlink destination. It wasn't very clear in comment 1 what sample
symlink content mean, the link with .sample suffix stripped or its destination.

@sample in bug 196431 should work fine without the patch here. It'd install 3
copies of the same sample file but user can make one main and the rest point to
it (e.g. bug 196435).
