Reviewing changes between the bionic and eoan versions, I notice they've
changed the default access:

backuppc (3.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * debian/apache.conf:
    + Only grant access from localhost by default (as by default HTTPS is
      not enforced). Mention that in NEWS.Debian.

and access permissions on the cgi-bin directory:

-rules: install --mode=4750 index.cgi debian/backuppc/usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin
+rules: install --mode=755 index.cgi debian/backuppc/usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin

This may improve the situation a little, although the problem of the cgi
script not getting handled as cgi remains.  For security conditions,
this would need to adhere to ubuntu's policy on enabling cgi-bin on
installation.

Updating documentation is a good idea - suggestions would be welcomed.
