Installation of new cgi-bins is similar to installing new binaries,
is it not? Even if /usr is mounted read-only, it will have to change
when new software is installed. /var is for stuff that changes during
normal operation -- installation of new software is not.
Anyway, I don't think a web server should create its own directory
directly below /var. Instead, create one below /var/lib. And, unless
the files can actually be shared by several packages, the directory
name should reflect the package name.
Do we have an FSSTND/FHS interpreter available?
