I disagree. The proposed settings in platform.conf should only
be changed by the package maintainers or very experienced users
who know that they'll have to change many other things like logrotate, 
init scripts and so on, so it is ok to put them into a separate file.

Oh, and btw: the config is already splitted anyway, so why do you care 
about another extra file?


Otoh it is true that probably not all platforms would provide a similar 
config, so i'm not sure how useful this is for puppet users.
perhaps it would be better to extract those settings from the current 
config (lighttpd -p -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf | grep "..." > 
new-puppet-plaform.conf) in a puppet run.
