Maybe the approach used for the backuppc package is a good compromise: 
The package contains and installs the apache server definition. But the 
package also contains a README.MGA file that - among other items - 
contains a recommendation on how to create a backuppc server for lighttpd.

This approach is perfectly in line with the "packaged-for-apache" 
concept, and it makes life easy for users who - for whatever reason - 
need to run lighttpd. The mageia wiki is great, and there is interest to 
push people to go to the wiki. But a README file that comes with the 
package is the first place where a user will look for this kind of 
information; and it is more likely to get updated with a new release of 
backuppc than a - separate - page in the wiki.
