There is no need for a (/var)/run/lighttpd/ directory - the pid file is 
placed directly in (/var)/run, and the sockets are placed wherever the 
user wants them to be.

The upstream config examples don't contain any reference to 
(/var)/run/lighttpd/, so i see no reason to add a tmpfile here (neither 
are our init script examples creating that directory).

As soon as there is a sane tmpfiles.d approach, we can discuss actually 
using it in our config examples.

(afaik the debian configs contain a /var/run/lighttpd/ reference only in 
mod_webdav.conf, which could be modified to use /var/run easily)

regards,
Stefan
