Hmm. It seems many languages' have been adding a private package
installation. Debian (and I expect others) package their own language
modules (for perl, ruby, php, etc.) and there may be a way to install
lightttpd without using this alternate method. These methods do not
register their packages with Debian so are unknown to dpkg. Debian
packages do not use these alternate methods to satisfy their
dependencies. I would expect the Debian developer to have packaged all
the required reverse dependencies, so if you have a problem installing
it, I'd suggest a bug report in the BTS. If its a popular add-on, then
the maintainer may want to package it. But the alternate methods make it
harder to Debian to keep things easy.
