My hope is that eventually all platforms would do it this way, but someone has 
to be first!  Perhaps, as Arno suggested previously, upstream would be willing 
to provide a split config like this so that other distros could follow the lead?

Interesting idea about extracting the config options.  I'd be a little worried 
though about extracting the options, appending my own, then writing it back to 
lighttpd.conf.  If anything ever went wrong it would be very easy to severely 
break the config file on subsequent runs.  There's no /etc/default/lighttpd 
either that you could change to point lighttpd at a different config file 
either, to preserve the original.

Cheers,
Adam.
