I often see problems like in bug#507406 [1] because I run lighttpd on some
servers.  Like the report says, having a separate group for web servers like
'www' or 'www-data' like debian does would go a long way for commonly
installed packages.

How do others feel about this?  Should we shoot for a feature for F13?  What
kind of problems are we going to run into with changing the group in all the
web packages?  What can we do to help people with the upgrade?
