What I like about debian is that the package scripts happily put
themselves in their own little CGI directory, on my 'serious' web hosts I
very rarely make that directory public as I either 
  a) Don't want accidently installed CGIs to be visible
  b) Need custom cgis

So I use some other ScriptAlias dir and perhaps symlink only the things
that I want from the /usr/lib/cgi-bin. Different virtual hosts get
different cgi-bin directories too

BTW, what is this '/home/www' we don't use that do we? Isn't it /var/www?
