Thank you for maintaining the Debian CGIWrap packages, Pierre; I'm glad 
they are part of the distribution!

Unfortunately, I observe that the php-cgiwrap package is broken in 
unstable. It is broken because /usr/bin/php4 is provided by php4-cli, 
instead of php4-cgi, & CGIWrap's CreateInterpreterARGV produces an 
argument array which breaks the PHP4 CLI (unlike the PHP4 CGI).

I do not suggest repackaging CGIWrap to use /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4 
(provided by the php4-cgi package) since this path published by the web 
server. Instead, I suggest fixing CreateInterpreterARGV / 
StripPathComponents (in util.c) to produce an argument array which may 
be used by PHP4 CLI.

Thanks again!
