Thanks for your explanation but to me it looks there still remains a problem. It seems, at least, the package should provide a link of /usr/bin/mimetex to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi even if your explanation is correct. To me it looks more natural to provide a real binary /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi and a link of it to /usr/bin/mimetex, however. I believe a package, which forces a user to link a binary to somewhere to use it, is not a good Debian package.
