Simpler Webproposal
1. There is Web ROM space below /usr/lib/web.
2. Webservers need to provide some means of mapping the ROM space into
the real server root so that the ROM space can be accessed by
http://host/<ROM space relative filename>.
The webservers are free to use whatever features they have for this
purpose (Aliases, Symlinks, Searchpaths ...). If possible the
webservers should provide means to override files in ROM and provide
exclusions for parts of ROM from access.
3. Webtools should invoke a server dependant script "update-web" after
changing any files in /usr/lib/web to give the server a chance
to update links + indexes. (This mean calling update-web in
postinst and postrm for any web tool).
4. References to the real server root should be avoided by webtools.
If a real server root is needed then /var/web should be used.
