No, I've seen it a number of times with Debian. pg_createcluster will enable
SSL in postgresql.conf if it finds usable certificates under /etc/ssl.
When it doesn't, it's because of an antiquated version of postgresql-common,
or lack of certificates, or non-standard permissions to them.

More generally, Ubuntu vs Debian is not relevant for Postgres packages, they
are essentially identical at comparable version levels.
