One way to approach this problem would be for the Debian maintainer to patch
the upstream code to use autoconf for path specifications, e.g.:
configure --with-docroot=/var/www --with-cgi-bin=/usr/lib/cgi-bin
...implying installation under /var/www/packagename and
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/packagename. I am considering doing something like this for
Cricket.
