  One could package it in experimental indeed, though no-one will upload
rogue packages like yours. If you are interested in maintaining
lighttpd, please join the team, do not work behind its back.

  Beacuse it seems all but stable, and packaging unstable APIs or
programs is a hell I'm not keen on trying.

  And by the greatest luck, there is no 1.5 modules in debian right now,
so I believe we're safe for now.

  Well, then develop it for 1.5.0 if you don't care about 1.4.x, so
build yourself a development environment on your computer with the
latest bleeding-edge svn snapshot, bless you. Be sure that lighttpd 1.5
will enter unstable as soon as it's released and of release quality.
