Why you don't use the RA for this? If you go to a certificate and the
private key is in the database too then you can download it directly
from the webinterface of the RA.

This directory is only present for OpenSSL's ca command. We don't take
care of this directory. We only use the database.

The we store the serials of the last imported certificates.

You can simply make two different files - one with the certificate and
one with the key but please take in mind that there is webinterface for
exactly this conversion.
