On an Ubuntu 12.04 server I have a bunch of certificates listed in my /etc/ssl directory...where could these have come from? I don't remember adding them myself, do they get generated when aptitude updates its repos or is it from something else?

The certificates are from the package ca-certificates. The files in /etc/ssl/certs
are actually symlinks managed by update-ca-certificates.
See How does one remove a certificate authority's certificate from a system? if you want to remove some of them.
