One suggestion to keep extra debian (non-upstream) functionality in
global is to move it to another package package. The package would
build on upstream htags and allows users to share their html
cross-indexing via cgi-bin.

As I understand it, the extra feature pertains to enabling access via
web-server to html index of sources generated by htags.
