Hmm, that sounds more like #663720, although I observed that in the upgrade case. Package P depends on the concept "running YourSQL server" which can be satisfied by a) a remote db server - that is fine, it will be available while we install/upgrade the local machine (or if the DB is down, it's out of our local control) b) installing yoursql-server on the local machine - that service will not be available initially and will not be available temporarily during the upgrade. The problem in the second case is how to convince apt to do the right thing (i.e. configure yoursql-server *before* P) without adding a Depends: yoursql-server to P (which we want to avoid in order to support remote db-servers without requiring installation of a local db-server which would need to be disabled manually) That includes the case of alternatives, i.e. if P Recommends/Suggests: yoursql-server | theirsql-server all (installed or to-be-installed) alternatives should be configured before P. (Otherwise it will be murphyssql-server that is configured, satisfies the relationship, but is not the one P is going to use.)
