Thanks for the suggestions.

There are several ways to publish a MoinMoin website using 
moinmoin-common - the CGI script is just one of them. And using 
ScriptAlias works only when running CGI scripts as the user www-data.

I want to provide a package moinmoin-apache2 that automates this 
approach.  And other packages automating other approaches.  Just haven't 
gotten around to doing that yet.  I'd be happy if anyone wanted to help 
co-maintain tha MoinMoin package!

But sure, the documentation could be improved.  So thanks again for the 
suggestions here :-)
