I think its not that bad. For a significant part of the users, /gitweb 
as urlpath is ok. And the apache config snippet is a conf file, so 
changing the URL path is very easy. What is bad is that it is visible 
in all vhosts, but that's something we intend to make configurable in 
the apache2 2.4 packages.

About the repository paths, those are configured in /etc/gitweb.conf. 
I don't think that a web app as simple as gitweb needs to ask things 
during installation.
