Well, you're the first to complain at least :)

Please note, /etc/default is not for Debian specific configuration
settings, but for environment variables and startup configuration the
init script parses to start a given daemon in a sensible way.

You will not find any configuration file in it.

I discussed your bug with some other people earlier today, and they all
agreed that the bug is more likely a limitation in Puppet than in
Lighttpd (some claimed you could do, what you want in Puppet - I don't
know). There was a clear tendency towards "wontfix".

Anyway, what would you think about a /etc/lighttpd.conf.local setting we
would reference in the default configuration where you could add
additional core settings.

Please note, it would not quite solve your problem as you can't override
certain settings and/or undo some conditionals like we do for IPv6, but
at least you could add site local configuration settings as you like.

I guess, we would fill anything in a .local file though, so you could
safely put anything in there without having problems with merge
conflicts on update.
