gitweb: should depend on httpd, not httpd-cgi

Hi,

The newly introduced dependency doesn't work if you are deploying it
using a server that doesn't provide CGI (like nginx).

Ah, good point. What should the dependency be?

Maybe:

Depends: httpd
Suggests: apache2 | httpd-cgi

Ideally one would want a standardized way to configure a webapp
for webservers that provide fastcgi and a corresponding virtual
package, but I don't think we're there yet.

But it can't be upgraded unless you are willing to install one of the
packages providing httpd-cgi or apache. Worst, you can't upgrade git
either, as there is a versioned dependency between git and gitweb.

Exactly, but depending on httpd only might be enough for now.
