Bug#2703: apache: wrong location of icons and cgi-bins



> 1. The apache package installs icons and cgi-bins in /var/web/*.

Imagine that /usr was mounted read-only from a CD-Rom or over the
net (as it is supposed to be able to).  Nobody would be able to
add new icons or cgi scripts.

    In theory, theory and practice are the same.  In practice, they're not.
