The basic issue is that many webmasters expect to have this directory available for their own use and not have it taken over by the system to be used by the various Debian packages. This new policy should be in complete effect by the next release of Debian. I've started the change by reporting bugs against the various web servers and then later, after they've had a chance to address it, I'll report bugs against those packages that still use the old location. To address this, we are creating a new ScriptAlias "cgi-lib" that points to /usr/lib/cgi-bin. All Debian packages should eventually use that new "/cgi-lib/" path in their URLs instead of the older "/cgi-bin/". This mechanism does allow for an easy upgrade path. When updating a web server, the new "cgi-lib" needs to be added, but any existing definition of "cgi-bin" should be left untouched. (New installs should set "cgi-bin" to point to "<webroot>/cgi-bin" for easy use by webmasters.) Systems with upgraded web-servers will continue to work with the older packages (since both "cgi-bin" and "cgi-lib" point to the same place), thus providing a relatively transparent conversion.
