Is there any reason that the lighttpd package doesn't have Provides: webserver so that dependencies will be properly satisfied in packages like webalizer? Apache httpd package does have Provides: webserver.

The semantic of the webserver Provides is not clear to me. In general it seems to be used for a cgi server. I did a quick analysis here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ServerProvides in 'change the virtual provides' section.
In any case I think this is a better topic for fedora-devel-list (or even fedora-packaging if a guideline is to be done) since this is not epel related but a generic fedora issue.
