That looks like a highly inappropriate thing for gitweb to be doing.
There is no way for the package to know what URL and filesystem paths
(for data/config) the sysadmin wants gitweb to be installed at. The
package needs to ask the sysadmin if they want to setup any instances,
prompt them for the relevant data and run any scripts needed to create
those instances.
