[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#479276: Bad change

Hello.

If the initial reporter does not want scripts to be executed by 
webserver users, he probably shouldn't store those scripts within his 
www tree, or should rename them to "...php.txt".

A point release shouldn't thoughtlessly break all PHP-based websites 
hosted on a server to "403 - Forbidden", because it silently "Installed 
a new version of 10-cgi.conf", with commented out CGI handling of PHP 
scripts.

Remember, conf files are being symlinked (and not copied) to 
conf-enabled by lighty-enable-mod, so any change in these files in 
conf-available/ (if they have not been modified otherwise) immediately 
goes "live" after upgrade and restart of lighttpd.

With respect,
Roman.
