As you might have noticed, the last policy version (3.7.0) says that
web application packages must not put CGIs under `/usr/lib/cgi-bin'
anymore:

Given that apache2 has almost a magnitude more installations than all the other web servers in Debian (sans apache 1) combined and the apache team has no intentions of adopting the cgi-lib policy, I think the idea of cgi-lib is quite dead.

If policy documents something which isn't true and won't be true, it should be changed back again.

Please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=167513 for some of the apache team's thoughts about cgi-lib.
