Otoh it is true that probably not all platforms would provide a similar config, so i'm not sure how useful this is for puppet users. perhaps it would be better to extract those settings from the current config (lighttpd -p -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf | grep "..." > new-puppet-plaform.conf) in a puppet run.
My hope is that eventually all platforms would do it this way, but someone has to be first! Perhaps, as Arno suggested previously, upstream would be willing to provide a split config like this so that other distros could follow the lead?
Interesting idea about extracting the config options. I'd be a little worried though about extracting the options, appending my own, then writing it back to lighttpd.conf. If anything ever went wrong it would be very easy to severely break the config file on subsequent runs. There's no /etc/default/lighttpd either that you could change to point lighttpd at a different config file either, to preserve the original.
