Good idea. I'll add a NEWS file warning users about this and fix the
documentation bug.

As you should be aware as a DD, I am not allowed to touch conffiles. It
will be updated accordingly if you did not modify the default
configuration but apart there is not much I can do. I am not sure how
the upgrade broke anything for you though. Apparently you had modified
the lighttpd.conf so that it wasn't upgraded. Thus, it further continues
to use whatever doc root you configured, and our default doc root
contains nothing but the sample index.html file you're supposed to
replace if you really want to use the default. Would you mind telling me
more about your setup?


Please note, that the default document root is not really meant to be
used by end users anyway. It's rather supposed to be the host of "last
resort" when no other (virtual) host matches.
