Package: awstats Version: 7.0~dfsg-2 Severity: wishlist I installed the awstats package on my laptop, so that I could manually generate a few reports from the logs on my server. It came with a pile of enabled-by-default cron automation that I'll have to disable, and it put the actual awstats binary in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl .
Please consider splitting awstats into two packages, one containing awstats itself (no cron or CGI, binary in /usr/bin/awstats), and one containing the various automation suitable for installing on a web server (with a symlink for the CGI). You might even consider putting the cron job and the CGI script/configuration in separate packages, since people want either one or the other but not normally both. I'd suggest naming the packages "awstats", "awstats-cron", and "awstats-cgi"; if you leave the latter two merged, you could call it "awstats-auto" or similar. This would make awstats much easier to use for people who just want to run awstats manually, or via their own custom automation.
