Puppet has its own CA system and does not rely on ca-certificates on any 
way, so having ca-certificates installed or not should not make a 
difference.

The certificate should have been generated by the master process itself 
if it does not exist, using Puppet's CA. Could you get the list of files 
under /var/lib/puppet/ssl and /var/cache/puppet/ssl at the end of the 
test?
