Right now apt always picks the first alternative if nothing else has explicitly been suggested. However, conditional recommends [1] could solve that problem. They would be similar to USE flags on Gentoo, meaning that people who installed a given package automatically get recommended packages enhancing an existing package along. That's a perfect use case for the problem we're trying to solve. That said, for the time being I do not think we have anything better, so we need to deal with the problem by means available now - at least it's much better than leaving the user without any working setup at all. And those who do use alternative web servers - and as a maintainer of Lighttpd I can imply that without sounding too snotty - it's fair to assume that people who are skilled enough to use Lighttpd or, say, nginx, can be expected to install lighttpd-php or whatever, too or get Apache otherwise.
