Shouldn't it be changed by using a LIGHTTPD_PERMISSIONS variable,
instead of modifying the common device table ? This makes the
relationship more evident.

See the following example:
---

diff --git a/package/lighttpd/lighttpd.mk b/package/lighttpd/lighttpd.mk
index b8aa310..34f59b2 100644
--- a/package/lighttpd/lighttpd.mk
+++ b/package/lighttpd/lighttpd.mk
