Bug#737730: debian-policy: Minor rewrite for CGI program paths in "11.5 Web servers and applications"

[Olivier Berger <olivier.berger@telecom-sudparis.eu>]

Package: debian-policy
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Reading https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s-web-appl I think it could be rephrased from :

1.  Cgi-bin executable files are installed in the directory

         /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgi-bin-name

    or a subdirectory of that directory, and should be referred to as

         http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgi-bin-name

    (possibly with a subdirectory name before cgi-bin-name).

to :

1.  Cgi-bin executable files are installed in the directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ or a subdirectory of that directory, so that, typically

         /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgi-bin-name

    should be referred to as

         http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgi-bin-name

    (possibly with a subdirectory name before cgi-bin-name).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
