Except it doesn't work.  If you just symlink pyblosxom.cgi, it becomes
very unhappy, as shown by this sample setup:

: tfheen@vawad ~/public_html/blogtest > ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r--  1 tfheen tfheen 81 2005-04-11 13:54 config.py
lrwxrwxrwx  1 tfheen tfheen 12 2005-04-11 13:51 test.py ->
/tmp/test.py*
: tfheen@vawad ~/public_html/blogtest > cat test.py
#! /usr/bin/python

import sys
sys.path.append("/etc/pyblosxom")
import config
print config.py['datadir']

: tfheen@vawad ~/public_html/blogtest > cat config.py
py = {}

# Where are this blog's entries kept?
py['datadir'] = "/tmp/pyblosxom/"
: tfheen@vawad ~/public_html/blogtest > ./test.py
/var/www/pyblosxom/
: tfheen@vawad ~/public_html/blogtest >

(/etc/pyblosxom contains the shipped config.py where datadir is /var/www)

http://bugs.debian.org/298587 has a patch to look at SCRIPT_FILENAME
to find out where pyblosxom is hosted.  I think that looks fairly sane
and unless anybody can find a compelling reason not to apply it, I'll
apply that fairly soon for Debian.
