if i understand correctly, you want another package to prompt for the
various settings information, but not actually do any of the setup?
currently, you can't do that. you *can* use the settings from one
package in another if they're both installed on the same host (by
manually invoking dbconfig-generate-include in your postinst), but the
full version of what you want is non-existant at this point.
however, this sounds like a cool feature to have (i have a package
which could use this too), and it wouldn't be too hard to implement.
please open a wishlist bug against dbconfig-common (or reassign this one)
and i'll see what i can do in the next release or two :)
