Whoops, I effectively got the version number and Ubuntu release
wrong, because I missed that we are still using a Dapper-derived
lighttpd.conf on our Hardy machines. (My apologies for the
confusion; I should have checked to be sure.)

The dapper lighttpd.conf says:

$HTTP["host"] == "localhost" {
        global {
                alias.url += ( 
                        "/doc/" => "/usr/share/doc/",
                        "/images/" => "/usr/share/images/"
                )
        }
        dir-listing.activate = "enable"
}

This is from the current lighttpd_1.4.11-3ubuntu3.8_i386.deb
package for dapper (6.06 LTS).

Arguably this is still not a bug because the config file also
binds lighttpd only to localhost. But it doesn't match the
comment, and it's dangerous if you change that to
let lighttpd talk to the world without knowing that you need
to change other things in the configuration.
