According to http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/dhttpd.html:

Package: dhttpd 1.02a-5
Minimal secure webserver. No cgi-bin support!
As it doesn't run external programs, this webserver cannot be easily hacked.
Does not need a permanent IP Address. Memory efficient. Low profile. Quick.
Just transfers files. Can be run from a user account on high ports. No
configuration necessary. It just works.

'apt-get remove dhttpd' should remove it.
