CGI expands to Common Gateway Interface, so the second 'interface' is
unneccessary. To avoid repeating sinfo too may times in the sentence, you
might consider 'for your web server', which is where the installer will
put it if the answer is yes.

^^^^^^^^
Presumably the computer doesn't make this decision, the administrator does
(which is why we're asking the question). Inserting 'about' here is the
cleanest way to get around it.
So the template then reads:
_Description: Enable the sinfo CGI script?
The sinfo package includes a CGI for your web server. It is
disabled by default as it might publish information about the computer not
intended to be public.

That's a big paragraph: I've split it at its natural break, and avoided
capitalising the package name:
.
The sinfo package includes a daemon running on each
node distributing the information, and an ncurses frontend to monitor them.
Again, avoid repeating 'node' by calling the collection 'them'.
