I just noticed that lighttpd depends on systemd. Is this dependency really needed?

Running ldd on the executable and all shipped modules suggests the dependency is not needed, but I might have missed something.

Additionally, if lighttpd does need a library shipped by systemd, libsystemd would seem the more logical dependency.

Ah, it's because of systemd-tmpfiles in the install script I take it? Bit of a shame that pulls in the entirety of systemd and dependencies. Sorry for the noise.
