Hi,

Please CC me, I'm not on the list.

Who owns /var/log/lighttpd?
Lighttpd (running as www-data) expects to be able to create files in
this dir, so the dir is owned by www-data.
What is the recommended way to chown this? Chown manually in postinst?
In the init script? Is there any support for this in the packaging
tools?

It's about http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=563635

Probably the solution to that bug is to read the user from the
lighttpd configuration instead of hard-coding it. lighttpd -p can
probably help here. Not sure how you would parse the output though.

That's too hacky, so not a solution.

I think you should not use the standard dirs if you need your dirs to
be owned by someone else.
