No worries :)

Unfortunately I did actually mean the latter :) In particular we want a
config file that can have different options for read/write splitting.

We just realised a perl script that creates packages out of a Symfony2
application [0] (not for inclusion into actual Debian though, just for
deployment) and realised that it would be awesome if dbconfig-common could
do this.  I can understand that since it's not really for Debian itself,
it's a bit hard to prioritise this.

OTOH, there's also the argument that anyone who is setting up HA or LB
should be able to edit config files and set up servers themselves :)
