Package:lighttpd
Version:1.4.45-1

The placeholder file /var/www/html/index.lighttpd.html wasn't up to
date.

* replaced Debian with Devuan, one link to Debian still exists. I
  didn't know how to replace [Lighttpd server
package](http://packages.debian.org/lighttpd)
* assuming that /var/www/html is your DocumentRoot (before: /var/www/
  which is wrong for Debian too, that could be reported upstream)
* added: This file is named index.lighttpd.html for preventing
  collisions with other webserver installed on your system. You find it
  at /var/www/html/index.lighttpd.html in your local file system
* added to bugs reports: [Instructions on doing
  this](https://bugs.devuan.org/) and changed link to the list of known
  bugs.

The complete file and a diff is attached.

Control: severity -1 wishlist

I have thought about this, and since Devuan still uses the Debian package
directly without recompilation, I think leaving the Debian branding on the
placeholder page seems OK. In particular, bugs about lighttpd should be reported
to Debian's BTS.

I hope that seems reasonable.

Reducing severity to wishlist.

Thanks.

Mark
