It's a bit messy, but perhaps a way to make it work with the current dependency limitations is to have helper packages (dbconfig-mysql, etc) which depend on dbconfig-common and the appropriate client interface. phpmyadmin, e.g., could then depend on dbconfig-mysql, which pulls in all the right stuff for it, and supplies mysql helper scripts.
