Nginx Web Server
Installation
Installing Nginx is easy, the nginx package is here for this.
But starting Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" and Squeeze-backports, the packaging has been modified to best fit the needs of users. Debian 8.0 "Jessie" continues with this work.
Debian Squeeze-Backports, Wheezy and after
Starting Debian Wheezy (and backported to Debian Squeeze), Nginx packaging has been produced with a best fitting with users' needs.
Three packages were created, nginx-light, nginx-full, nginx-extras. Each of the packages contain different sets of modules, nginx-light being the lighter and nginx-extras being the heavier. nginx-full is in the middle, being installed with the metapackage nginx (nginx-full is not installed if nginx-light is already installed).
Recap of the different modules in every package (starting Squeeze-Backports)

Squeez-backports and Wheezy ship the 1.2 series of nginx, Wheezy-backports and Jessie include the nginx 1.6 series. As of August 2016, sid and experimental also include 1.11 and 1.13.
