Source: lighttpd

IMHO, it appears that the origin of these issues is the metadata cost,
and not that lighttpd is modular.  It appears the metadata costs are
the tail wagging the dog for package design decisions.  That is most
unfortunate.

The previous Debian lighttpd maintainers did a pretty poor job following
upstream.  Just about everything that you're doing is an improvement, so
thank you.

Perhaps for Buster, all the new packages should be removed, except
those split from existing lighttpd core (mod_openssl) and from mod_auth
(mod_authn_file, mod_authn_ldap).  Hopefully, Debian will address the
metadata cost scaling issue in a future Debian release.

I still think it reflects poorly on Debian that lighttpd in Debian
will be crippled due to Debian packaging scaling limitations.

While I would like to see mod_openssl as its own package for the
future, no such requirement exists at the moment, and other parts of
lighttpd link against libcrypto (not libssl).  The lighttpd build
would have to be modified if lighttpd were to provide some algorithms
with the core (e.g. SHA1), rather than obtaining them from libcrypto,
and then mod_openssl built separately.  So for now, let's not do
mod_openssl as a separate package.

As you proposed, we might proceed with creating lighttpd-modules-mysql
and lighttpd-modules-ldap to start the transition, as that makes sense
to group the modules depending on the database so that a future Debian
release can remove those dependencies from the core.

.

tl;dr:

I agree with your proposal for lighttpd-modules-mysql and
lighttpd-modules-ldap, though I might suggest lighttpd-modules-mariadb
instead of lighttpd-modules-mysql.

I agree with your proposal to avoid adding new modules to the lighttpd
base package which would increase the dependency footprint of the
lighttpd base package.

I propose leaving the -dev build dependencies in debian/rules so that
others could more easily build dpkgs of the additional modules, and
install those modules themselves.
