Merecat footprint is ~ 140 KiB. Having CGI support and Let's encrypt support is also a plus.
The swap of publicfile-installer for merecat is a improvement for Debian. FWIW, this email adds deep link https://salsa.debian.org/debian/merecat to this ITP BR. I can confirm that debcheckout https://salsa.debian.org/debian/merecat works. Once merecat is in debian you can do just debcheckout merecat (Install debcheckout by `sudo apt install -y devscripts`.)
