How about this patch? * debian/control: gitweb: weaken dependencies to take into account configurations that use mod_perl or fastcgi instead of CGI (closes: #600413); update description to explain dependencies. -- 8< -- Subject: gitweb: weaken dependency on httpd-cgi gitweb can be used as a mod_perl or fastcgi script, so it does not actually require httpd-cgi. Adjust the dependencies so it can be used more easily with web servers like nginx that do not support CGI. While at it, add some words of explanation to the package description to help the sysadmin find a combination of packages that works.
