I mean the docs linked above is meant for people installing packages (consuming them). I don't find it helpful for myself as the package producer. The docs don't tell me how a database must be packaged to be compatible with dbconfig. Or maybe they do somewhere but I don't get it. Maybe reading some example code from somewhere or seeing a copy-paste of them the installer fails would help here. I will not close this bug just yet. I am interested in getting mariadb-server compatible with dbconfig - I just have no idea how to do it as I don't understand how dbconfig works. If the fix is obivious to somebody else, having this issue open and waiting for somebody to send a patch in would server a cause.
