Perhaps we should add http://<hostname>/debian/ (aka index.html) to be the
default startingoint for browsers in debian packages?

If a former version of the package has already created a file in
/usr/lib/debian-www/cgi-bin and there is no link from
/var/lib/debian-www/cgi-bin poiting to it, the postinst script shouuld not
create this link, since it was the admins decicion to remove the script from
access.
