Bug description:
Andrew McMillan suggested making use of dbconfig-common to create the database
and the required user account using debconf, instead of relying on instructions
in the README.Debian file.
Here's the description for that package:
dbconfig-common presents a policy and implementation for
managing various databases used by applications included in
debian packages.
dbconfig-common can:
* support mysql, postgresql, and sqlite based applications
* create databases and database users
* access local or remote databases
* upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure
* remove databases and database users
* generate config files in many formats with the database info
* import configs from packages previously managing databases on their own
* prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions
* handle failures gracefully, with an option to retry.
* do all the hard work automatically
* work for package maintainers with little effort on their part
* work for local admins with little effort on their part
* comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behaviour
* do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin
* perform all operations from within the standard flow of debian
package maintenance (no additional skill is required of the local
admin)
