change in rc.d/lighttpd 1.4.28

Hi,

i've just upgraded to lighttpd 1.4.28-2 and an 1.4.26-3. It works but there are some changes in the /etc/rc.d/lighttpd i don't understand.

lighttpd 1.4.26 :

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting $daemon_name daemon"
      ...
      # RUN
      $daemon_name -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
      #
      ...
      fi

lighttpd 1.4.28 :

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting lighttpd"
      ...
      nohup /usr/sbin/lighttpd-angel -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf >>/var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd-angel.log 2>&1 &
      ...
      fi

With this new rc.d, i've 2 process (lighttp and lighttpd-angel) in memory instead of just one (lighttpd).

So why a such change (starting lighttpd-angel) ?
- the lighttpd example script don't use it (no man related to this, except one from year 2007)
- no major change in the binary lighttpd, so why change in the rc.d ?
- this add a new log file "/var/log/lighttpd/lighttpd-angel.log" and i don't know how to modify it and what it contains (there is already a error.log for this)

thanks.
