See #612467 for my proposal, which somehow addresses documentation of the DB creation parts. > Olivier, about #651158, I'm not sure it would be reasonable to rely on > dbconfig-common, for a package that offer mutualisation (multisite), > with a preferably independent database and user for each site.

Now, about db-config use or not : I think it may be very likely that most users installing spip with Debian packages would expect at least one default instance to be auto-configured, or installed through the most minimal set of additional operations needed after apt has completed. Most likely, the /ecrire part is unavoidable given that SPIP already handles this, and things shouldn't be duplicated in the maintainer scripts. But creating a DB for the 'default' instance, should, in my opinion, be made as automatic as possible. I think a possible way could be to ask in the config, first if the user wants to create a a DB automatically in MySQL (through db-config), letting her the option to decline, and proceed manually. That latter option would then naturally fit the needs of the (most probably fewer) users needing multi-hosting. That's the way it is done for fusionforge (if you need a reference implementation), and suits most cases, IMHO. Hope this helps.
