Subject: Explicitly allow cgi-bin programs in a subdirectory
X-Git-Url: https://git.donarmstrong.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9c8d71db5a4156fb4de0f012756fed038b827c8;p=debian%2Fdebian-policy.git

Explicitly allow cgi-bin programs in a subdirectory

The current wording could be read to imply that subdirectories of
/usr/lib/cgi-bin aren't allowed.  Explicitly permit installation of
CGI programs in a subdirectory of that directory.
