agi-bin is modeled after cgi-bin directory of an HTTP daemon, which
resides with Debian under /usr/lib/cgi-bin . It's under /usr as it is
intended for programs and libraries.
If you want to add your own agi script, you can still put it there in
your local system.
You should put stuff under /var if they are to be modified at system
runtime.
