Hi,

here is a little perl script that checks if a port is already used
by trying to bind() to it. I propose in the postinst you do:

if fresh_install:
    if port 80 is taken (by using the supplied script):
        ask debconf question for alternative port number
        configure alternative port number
start lighttpd

The debconf question might look like:

Port number to start lighttpd under
The standard HTTP server port 80 seems to be occupied by another
program. In order to start lighttpd you have to choose an alternative
port number, eg. port 81.


This way users can install apache, and then lighttpd without conflicts.


Regards,
  Bastian
