Package deconfiguration is an exceptional operation, and there's no
way to explicitly request a deconfiguration, the closest thing is to
redo an unpack, something that frontends do not usually do. But more
importantly in this case doing that unpack resets the pending triggers
in gitweb which means they get lost, partially defeating the interest
directive, although the code will still be executed on the latter
configure.

In this case though, it seems switching to interest-noawait is the
correct fix, because gitweb just wants to be notified when the
apache2-maintscript-helper program appears to be able to configure
itself, but apache does not care and does not need to await the
trigger processing from gitweb for itself to be operational.

Hope that explains.

Thanks,
Guillem
